Annual Call for Artists

The Lake George Arts Project Gallery Committee invites artists to submit exhibition proposals to the Courthouse Gallery. We seek proposals from professional artists and crafts-persons (those making a living, or endeavoring to make a living, through their artwork).  Strong preference is given to work created within the past two years. We welcome proposals for special exhibitions, installations, mixed media presentations, and performance art.  

The deadline for proposals is always January 31.

Courthouse Gallery Submission Guidelines:

Submit slides OR digital images, not a combination of both formats.

Slides: Submit 10 to 12 slides of recent work, numbered to correspond to an Image Script.  This Script must have the following information: artist’s name, title of artwork, medium, dimensions, date.  Installations or 3-dimensional work may be illustrated by multiple slides. Slides must be 35mm and enclosed in a plastic slide sheet.

Digital Images on CD: In lieu of submitting 35mm slides, artists may submit 10 to 12 digital images of recent work on a CD, in accordance with the following guidelines:  Image Dimensions should be approximately 4 to 6 inches, and no more than 1200 x 1200 pixels (the longest dimension of the image must be no more than 1200 pixels).  The file size for each image must be no larger than 2 MB.  Submit only PC-compatible files, in jpeg format, in RGB or SRGB color mode only (No CMYK).  Label each file (image) with a number and title. The first nine images must begin with a zero (for example: 01title.jpg, 02title.jpg…15title.jpg).  This will ensure that they are presented chronologically and follow your Image Script.  Please do not include other material on the CD. (Send only hard copy of resume, artist’s statement, and Image Script).  Please do not submit material that requires software, plug-ins, extensions or other executables to be downloaded or installed.  The CD must be clearly labeled with your name.
