Exhibit work (applies to accepted work – not submissions for jurying):
The gallery strives for an eclectic and cohesive exhibition. Uniform framing is less distracting than with many different colors and framing styles. Accepted work will be framed by Gallery Saintonge with black, metal, Neilsen frames for gallery exhibition. At the same time, the gallery recognizes that some work incorporates “framing” as an integral part of presentation. If this applies to your work, please contact the gallery as exceptions can be made.
Otherwise, Gallery Saintonge will require accepted work adhere to the following:
If matted, white or off-white professional quality mats.
Work to be framed must be matted, or otherwise prepared, to standard side lengths. (Ex. sides of 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20… inches)
Framed dimensions not exceeding 32 x 40 inches.
* Exceptions to these criteria can be arranged per discussion with gallery personnel.
Note:
Artist pays shipping and handling costs.
Gallery Saintonge reserves the right to disqualify work if the printed image quality is obviously poor or inconsistent with the image that was submitted for jurying.
