PUNCH Gallery: International Juried Exhibition 2009

PUNCH Gallery presents an international juried exhibition taking place December 4, 2009 - January 2, 2010. Located in the Pioneer Square area of downtown Seattle, PUNCH provides an opportunity to gain exposure within the Northwest regional art scene.

Artists from any country may submit work in any medium with no limit to the number of entries. Work in traditional 2-D and 3-D, new media, video, sound, or installation is encouraged. Complicated installation procedures may require the artist to assist with installation. Members of PUNCH are not eligible to enter. Work must be able to fit through the gallery's front door (81" x 40"). Entry fees are $15 for the first image and $5 per additional image (1-13 images maximum). Fees are nonrefundable.

The juror is Marisa C. Sánchez, Assistant Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Seattle Art Museum. Cash awards will be determined by the number of entries and distributed at the juror's discretion; the previous juried exhibition presented cash awards totaling $1,300. Several entrants were also offered additional exhibition opportunities curated by PUNCH members. Notification of acceptance will be sent via email by November 2. Accepted work must be received by November 20. The opening reception and award announcement is December 3. PUNCH will retain a 30% commission on all artwork sales. It is not required that accepted works be for sale. Artists are responsible for insuring their work; PUNCH will not be responsible for damage, theft, or loss. Work will be returned via the same carrier that delivered it or may be picked up at PUNCH Gallery on Sunday, January 3 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.
