Answers to FAQs
Just have fun, the guidelines are open to interpretation.
Yes, you can just fill the wall with artwork. You don't have to have a high-minded concept of filling 8 cubic feet of space.
Yes, people can buy the artwork off the wall and take it home same-day. The Merry Makers Market is happening at the same time on opening weekend - the Foundry will have a lot of people who are interested in buying gifts. The majority of the artwork exhibited must be for sale. Artists can re-stock space, if necessary, after consulting with the director of exhibitions.
No, you can't paint directly on the walls, but you can bring in two pieces of 4x8ft .25in plywood to install as a mural within the 8x8 wall space.
By checking this box, I acknowledge that the application fee is non-refundable, even if I am not accepted into the Foundry's 8x8x8x juried exhibition.
Please upload 6-10 images of your work that you would like to have considered for exhibition. Artwork must have been completed in the past two years. Images should showcase the entire artwork. If you would like, you can include detail images in the supplemental image upload. You may exhibit works that are not submitted with this application; images you submit should be representative of the types of artwork that will be shown.
Images should be saved as a .jpg or .png. No HEIC files, please.
Images should be labeled as Artist's Last Name, First Initial, and Artwork Title (abbreviated titles are acceptable.) Example: VanGogh_V_StarryNight.jpg | Kahlo.F.SelfPortrait.png
