FAQs for artists about our 4th Annual Group Show

Reminder to all local artists that the deadline to enter the Hants County Arts Council's 4th annual group show at the Bread Gallery is this Sunday at Midnight!

We've had a very nice variety of work submitted so far, but we still have lots of room to include much, much more!

For those of you who have been on the fence as to whether you should submit something, here are a few FAQs that might help motivate you to enter:
 

Q) Can I show artwork that was previously shown at the Harvest show?

A) Yes, artists are welcome to submit any work that has been created within the last year and that has not already been displayed at the Bread Gallery.
 

 
Q) I don't have the best camera, will my photos be good enough?

A) Ideally we would like to see images measuring at least 6 inches at a DPI of 300. We will accept images taken on a tablet if the image is sharp and the colours are accurate, however these images will not be considered for the handbill and advertising because the image quality is too poor for print.
 

 
Q) How many pieces can I submit?
 
A) Each member is encouraged to submit up to 7 pieces; please include titles, medium and sizes with your attached images.


 
Q) Who makes up the jury?
 
A) Gallery owner Joan McKenzie has invited establish artists from the area and a curator from another reputable gallery to join her in curating this year's showcase. The process will be moderated by HCAC president Tacha Reed.
 

Q) I'm still not quite finished a few pieces, can I still apply to be in the show?

A) Yes, for any work that is still in mid-production, please send us an image of the in-progress work with a brief description of your intent and we will include the work for consideration.
 

 
Q) My work is really different than many of the other members, do you think it will fit in?

A) Yes, we want to show off the full spectrum of the arts community here in Hants County and there are many of us who don't fit into the box, and that is something to be celebrated!
