Back to the Garden

National Juried Exhibition, April 1-30, 2016. Birds, Bees, Flowers, Trees, Adams, Eves (and just a little bit of Woodstock)—Ciel Gallery's famous Spring show returns. Artists are free to interpret the theme as desired. All US artists are welcome to apply in any medium, whether 2-D or 3-D. There are no size restrictions; however, space will be a consideration.

Entry Deadline: Sunday, March 6, 11:59 PM MT. Entry fee is $35.00 for 2 images; up to 2 additional images may be submitted for $10 each (maximum 4 images total). Minimum 2 images required. All entries must be original work created by the submitting artist. No prints or giclées accepted. All work must be clean, securely wired, and ready to hang. Submitted images must reflect the actual work as closely as possible. All digital files must be in JPEG format, sized to a minimum of 1920 pixels, no greater than 5MB.

Payment will be mailed to the artist within 30 days of the exhibition closing. Artists should supply their own insurance for the run of the show if desired.
