HOW TO BE PART OF OUR GALLERY

The Types of Artwork We Feature:

Our artists’ works are original, abstract, typically non-functional and, for the most part, decorative.  The work we feature may represent any medium including, for example, clay, wood, metal, stone, glass, minerals, paint, fiber, and photography.  Each individual work of art is juried to ensure that Abstract Earth Gallery maintains a certain standard of quality, so as not to compromise the integrity of the site and its featured artist.

How to Become an Abstract Earth Gallery Artist:

If your work has not previously been approved by Abstract Earth, we request that you send to us, via email (submit@abstractearth.com), at least five examples of your current and available work.  If you do not have the means to email your images, you may otherwise mail photographs of or a CD containing images of your work to: Abstract Earth Gallery Submissions, 8 East Poplar Avenue, Columbus, OH  43215.  Please see to it that each piece submitted for consideration is accompanied by a complete description, most importantly dimensions, medium/technique, and value.  If you have a web site that features examples of your work, simply send us the URL link and indicate which particular pieces are indeed available and up for consideration.

Jury & Setup Fee:

While there is no charge for jurying your work, a one-time, non-refundable fee of $45 is due upon your being selected as an Abstract Earth artist to cover the setup of your work on our site and return-shipping of your materials (if applicable).  Please send your check made payable to Abstract Earth Gallery Submissions, 8 East Poplar Avenue, Columbus, OH  43215, or call (866) 634.4ART to pay by MasterCard or Visa.

If you have been contacted by a representative of Abstract Earth Gallery and your work has been approved, please read the following instructions:

Once you have been accepted as an Abstract Earth Gallery artist:

• Please take the time to look over the agreement. Call or email us with any questions, comments or concerns.
• If your work is 3D or wall-mounted relief, it is preferable that you have all of your pieces featured in our 3D-like rotating format to give the potential buyer a better “feel” for your art.
• If your artwork is 2D (e.g., photography or painting), please email the images (width of no less than 768 pixels) to submit@abstractearth.com and type “2D work” in the subject box.  If you do not have the means to email your images, you may otherwise mail photographs of or a CD containing images of your work to: Abstract Earth Gallery Submissions, 8 East Poplar Avenue, Columbus, OH  43215.
• Each work of art submitted must be accompanied by the following information:
  • height, width, depth (H x W x D)
  • weight
  • medium
  • display preference (e.g., free-standing, wall-mounted, framed/unframed)
