Installation / display notes

Is this work available for sale?

Read this before you submit!

2D Works: Your work must arrive wired for hanging (unless otherwise indicated in the display notes). No sawtooth hangers. If it shows up unwired, it may not go on the wall. We do not want that for you.

3D / Sculptural Works: Your work must be self-supporting or arrive with every piece of hardware, every pedestal, every mounting component it needs. If your work requires wall mounting, ceiling mounting, power, or any special conditions, tell us now. Do not wait until acceptance. Anything requiring special installation must be approved in advance, and gallery weight limits and floor load capacity are real constraints we have to work within.

Section 3: Image Upload

Upload one image. JPG or PNG only minimum 300dpi, maximum 10MB. Make sure your image is well-lit or a clear scan and accurately represents the work. This is what will be juried.

Section 4: Artist Statement

In 250 words or less, tell us how this work connects to collage as an act of resistance. Political dissent, personal survival, cultural reclamation, community building, grief, rage, joy - all of it counts. There is no wrong answer here. We just want to hear how you think, and why this piece needs to be in this room.
