for a jury application form.
All artists are required to have their
work juried prior to being accepted as members. The jury committee will meet
monthly to review the work of applicants for membership. While it is our goal to
help area artists become profitable, the success of the Gallery depends on
marketability of the product. The jury process helps to ensure a sales mix that
will benefit all artisans. All items submitted must be the work of the applying
artisan(s). No resale products will be considered unless the item is
incorporated into or sold as part of the finished product. All product displayed
in the gallery must be for sale unless the item is part of a gallery sponsored
show.
1. Three pieces of each media to be juried, a completed Membership
Application / Product Description form (Included in this package) and annual
dues payment should be left at the Gallery prior to the monthly meeting.
2. Things we will consider while reviewing your product:
A. Quality-Does
the product reflect high quality in the materials used, craftsmanship and
presentation.
B. Need for this type of product at this time- based on
product mix, seasonality, and the Gallery’s ability to properly display the
product.
3. The jury committee will notify you of the results of your product review.
A. If your product meets Gallery requirements and space is available for new
members you will be invited to join immediately. You must respond to the
invitation to join by the last day of the month in which you were juried by
sending your membership fee to The ARTS Gallery at 28 Main St. Lisbon, NH 03585
and signing up for an empty time slot to staff the gallery. Instructions will be
sent showing how to sign up online or you may sign up at the gallery.
B. If
space is not available at the time, you will have the option of being placed on
our waiting list and will be notified when appropriate display space does become
available. .
C. If your product does not meet the Gallery’s requirements the
committee will provide you with a critique of your work via the Jury Review
Form.
