ELIGIBILITY FOR JURYING:
Artists must be 18 years old. Work submitted must be original work created by the artist, no mass-produced work.
JURYING PROCESS:
Artists may submit work in one of two ways.
1. (Most preferable). You can send in your entry using the website Entrythingy.com. Click on the following link or copy and paste the link into your browser:
2. Work may be submitted by email.
Submit six (6) images depicting six individual works to:
[email protected].
Please include an image of your booth, if available, if you are interested in the Art Fair.
Use Jurying 2026 as the subject line of your email.
Digital images must be a high-resolution .jpg (approx. 5 x 7) with a resolution of 300 dpi and a file size no larger than 1.4MB per image.
Entries will be juried from the digital images, which should be sharp and accurate in color.
Please note: If an artist wishes to be juried in more than one medium, he/she should submit an application for each medium, rather than one application with images of both media. One fee will cover both applications. A single entry containing multiple media may be rejected, as we cannot see consistency in the quality of your work.
Please include an artist statement which describes your work, particularly your methodology. For example, a jeweler might describe which portions of the pieces are handcrafted.
If jurying by email, please complete the enclosed jurying entry form. List image information on the form in the same sequence as on the email (artist's last name, initial of first name and image number). The jurying form can be emailed with the images or mailed to TGAA.
If jurying by email, mail a non-refundable jury fee of $35 along with your application. Make checks payable to: Tall Grass Arts Assoc. If paying with a credit card, please call the Gallery Office at (708) 748-3377.
If you submit through Entrythingy, it will instruct you to pay through PayPal.
