2013 Punch Gallery Juried Exhibition

PUNCH Gallery presents an international juried exhibition taking place November and December 2013. Located in the Pioneer Square area of downtown Seattle, PUNCH provides an excellent opportunity to gain exposure within the Northwest regional art scene. Artists from any country may submit work in any medium, including traditional media, crafts, experimental genres, video, sound, or installation. Members of PUNCH are not eligible to enter.

Each artist may submit up to 12 entries total, with video and audio entries each limited to a maximum of six entries. Entry fees are $15 for the first image or media file and $5 for each additional image or media file. Acceptable file formats include JPEG for 2-D and 3-D works, .mov or .mp4 for video, and .mp3 for sound. Work must be able to fit through the gallery's front door (81"x40"). The juror is Rock Hushka, Director of Curatorial Administration and Curator of Contemporary and Northwest Art at Tacoma Art Museum.

All accepted artists will receive reimbursement for return shipping and a commemorative prize medal. Cash awards will be given in three categories: Juror's Choice Award ($500), PUNCH Choice Award ($500), and People's Choice Award ($500). Entrants are also frequently offered additional exhibition opportunities curated by PUNCH members or staff. The exhibition opens November 21, with an opening reception and awards announcement on December 5, and closes December 21. Artists are responsible for shipping costs to the gallery and for insuring their work. PUNCH will retain a 30% commission on all artwork sales.
