You may make your payment online, as part of the registration process. All entry fees must be received by the gallery no later than September 9th. Registrations received without payment will not be considered for this show.

2. Gallery North juries all entries into the show based on the image submitted with online registration. Artists should ensure that images of artwork are of good quality and are representative of the original.

Tips: When photographing your own work: avoid background clutter; glare, or reflections on glass; or skewing the proportions of the painting or artwork. Do not include frames or glass. Also be sure that your piece is in focus and properly lit. Artists' images submitted may be used to promote the show to the public via publications (print and online), social media, and on postcards, and posters. The artists retain rights to their work and the gallery will only use the images for promotional purposes. Images submitted must have a minimum 1000 pixels on the shortest side.

3. Artwork entries must be equal to or less than 440 square inches including any framing. Measure the height and width of the finished piece from the outside edges of the frame (or piece, if unframed).

For work sold during the show, Gallery North will pay a 60% commission to the artist no later than the 20th of the month following the sale of the artwork. Note: Artwork may be sold on a layaway basis. The artist agrees that the artist's commission will be disbursed after the artwork has been paid for in full. Gallery North layaway terms generally require that the layaway be completed in 4 months, but we reserve the right to reasonably extend the time of the layaway as it deems appropriate. Artists will be notified of any layaway arrangements that affect them.
