Fine Art Painting & Sculpture Portfolio Review is always held on a Tuesday and Fine Art Photography on a Friday. Upon acceptance, you will be juried into one specific medium. If you are interested in multiple mediums you must be juried into each medium individually.
Please call the Cape Cod Art Center 508-362-2909 prior to the Review Day so that you may be listed as a candidate. Space is limited to a first call basis.
CANDIDATES ARE TO SUBMIT:
- 5 original works in the same medium showing consistency of technique
- All work must be created within the last 3 years
- A Biography with Artist’s Statement
- Work cannot be a copy of another artist’s work and must be the artist’s own composition.
- A magazine or newspaper photo may not be used as the subject.
- Work must be composed, started and completed exclusively by the artist with minimal instructor’s critique and supervision.
- Work must be framed and if applicable matted; the jurors would like to see how you would intend to sell in our gallery.
- A panel of jurors will judge this submitted work.
Sculptors may bring 2-5 pieces to the gallery. However, if bringing less than 5, the balance should be represented by portfolio, email or website images (two views of each sculpture) to be viewed by the judges.
Your portfolio may be brought to the Gallery from Monday – Thursday prior to the Review Day from 9:00 – 3:00pm. Pieces for judging will not be accepted on the same day of Portfolio Review.
Fees for portfolio review are as follows: First Attempt: $20.00, Repeat Attempts: including jurying into a different medium $10.00
Unsuccessful candidates may reapply, it is strongly suggested that the candidate give themselves at least a full year of serious study before doing so. It is recommended that you provide the most recent portfolio review date so we may refer to our records.
The judges look for consistency of quality; one or two pieces of a lesser quality can disqualify the candidate. The decision of the judges will be mailed to you immediately following the review. Office staff does not have access to jurors’ results.
