Artists' Choice Submission Information

General

Many of your fellow artists volunteer their time to put this show together. Please help them out by following directions... thanks!

• Each registered artist is eligible to submit one piece of work that has not been exhibited in this show in a prior year

• Maximum dimensions are 30 x 30 inches including the frame
• 2 dimensional work must be ready to hang
• Artists are responsible for dropping off work at The Somerville Museum during the scheduled drop off times
• At the end of the show, artists must pick up their work during the scheduled pick up times; we do not have storage space and cannot take responsibility for artwork that is not picked up
• Optionally, you may submit a one-page artist statement or biography to be included in the binder kept at the museum desk

Drop Off Instructions

1. Download the submission form (pdf format). Print and complete the form including your signature. The forms will also be available at the drop off but it is preferred that artists complete the form beforehand. Cut off the bottom portion of the completed form and attach it securely to the back of your artwork.
2. Please also write your name on the back of your artwork to ensure that it can still be identified should the label become separated from the piece.
3. Prepare a one page, single-sided typed artist's statement / bio for inclusion in the exhibit binder.
4. Bring your artwork, the completed submission form and your artist's statement / bio to the artwork drop off at the Somerville Museum, 1 Westwood Road.
   
5. If you cannot make one of the drop off times listed below, please find someone else who can drop off the piece for you, making sure they bring the completed submission form and artist's statement / bio.
