Limit of up to 4 sketch images as part of the total 8 images for consideration. These images should not be in addition to the work samples, but are part of your total image submission.
6. For artists relying on technology for their exhibitions, please list what equipment you would require for your show. Please note that we will try hard to meet these requests but that we have limited resources and equipment at our disposal. Artists should strive to provide their own equipment when possible.
7. There is a submission fee of $25 for employed individuals or $15 for unemployed or underemployed individuals paid via PayPal to call@coopgallery.org (please include PayPal transaction number). This fee helps us sustain programs throughout the year to pay exhibiting artists in addition to offsetting the costs for rent.
