Before sending in materials please understand that we primarily work with self-taught and folk artists. We're interested in narrative work. We are not interested in photography, computer art, or abstract art. Please take a detailed look at our web site or visit the gallery before submitting materials to us. Once you have some understanding of our interests and honestly feel your work is appropriate and mature for us, you may send images using the guidelines below. Please keep in mind that we represent self-taught artists.

WHAT WE PREFER FOR REVIEW
No fewer than 5 and no more than 20 photographs or slides of work completed in the last two years. Please specify size and medium of each image represented.

You may submit images via email - please submit no more than 5 images totalling 300k. We prefer a URL (link to a webpage hosting your images) while reviewing work online. We regret that we cannot reply to work submitted online. If we are interested, you will hear from us.

YOU MUST INCLUDE:
An appropriately sized, self-addressed and stamped envelope with sufficient postage for return of materials. If you do not provide postage, your work will be held for pickup for two weeks. If not retrieved, it will be considered refuse. We will not return envelopes without postage.

WE WILL NOT:
1. Review your artwork as you bring it in to the gallery. We feel that your work deserves time for review. You may pick up any materials dropped off - please allow 2 weeks.
2. Return materials that do not have sufficient postage - materials not picked up within two weeks will be considered refuse.
3. Schedule appointments to review work.
4. Accept original artwork for review.
5. Critique your work.

If you feel that your work may be appropriate for our gallery and can follow these guidelines, you may send or drop off materials with sufficient return postage and self-addressed envelope to the address listed on this page.
