also note...
QUALIFICATIONS/GUIDELINES:
• Animation Industry artists only- Past or present experience.
• For those who live outside New York: we only allow up to 20% of non-New Yorkers into Too Art for TV. Non-New yorkers have a slimmer chance, but are still encouraged to apply.
• There is no size or number limit for submissions. Be as ambitious as you like, and we'll let you know if space is limited. You will not be rejected for proposing larger works than we can accommodate, but we may ask you to adjust your submission if we don't have space.
• This is a show that hopes to feature the "fine art" side of animation industry artists. No commercial work will be accepted- nothing you've been paid for or hope to get paid for commercially. Thematically as well, we're looking for work that feels decidedly non-commercial.
• To those submitting animated films: we're looking for animation that is different from what you'd expect at an animation festival. We like conceptual and/or experimental submissions only.
• All formats welcome including paintings, video installation, sculpture, toys, mixed media, silkscreen, etc. with one exception... (below)
• Sorry, no digitally printed artwork is accepted for this exhibition. If you would like to exhibit a digital print, you'll have to explain why conceptually it is necessary. NOTE: Mixed media that incorporates digital printouts, as well as digital photography, are okay.
• In some cases we may ask you to adjust your submission to fit the theme of the show better. This tends to happen when the jury likes the artist's style, but the concept feels too commercial.
EXHIBITION DETAILS:
• Our venue is tba until October.
• All artwork exhibited is for sale.
• Gallery takes a 50% commission.
• Artwork delivered to the gallery will be "ready to hang" including frames, hooks, wire, etc.
• Exhibitors will help in the hanging of their own artwork.
• If artwork brought to the gallery is different from the proposal, then we reserve the right not to hang it.
• Artists who are not in the NY area are responsible for getting their artwork to and from the Gallery.
• The gallery has final say in regards to the price of your work. In most cases, the artist's projected price is accepted.
• The gallery will take 30 days to compensate artists after their work is sold.
• Your bio and an example of your work will be used on our website to promote the show.
• Artists will sign a selling agreement upon acceptance.
Special note from the curator...
If you were not selected last year, we encourage you to ask for feedback and try again. Typically submissions are rejected due do a misunderstanding of our theme. |
