We encourage students to submit works that they are most proud of, that embodies who they are, and shows off their achievements as an artist. Please note that submissions are not limited to artwork made in school nor in your grade 12 year; artwork created outside of school is acceptable.
Requirements for artwork submissions:
- Up to four (4) artworks submissions are permitted per student. Two (2) will guaranteed to be in gallery, and two (2) will be included online. - Your name and title of the artwork is written on the back of your artwork at drop off to the gallery. - All wall-hanging artworks have d-hooks and wire installed at the time of drop off. - Accurately measure the outside edges of your artwork in inches. The measurement order should go as the following: (width)” x (height)” x (depth, if applicable)”. If your work is framed, include the frame size. - Please photograph your submitted artwork to the best of your ability: ie. take photo in a well-lit environment, avoid flash, and consider setting a timer if using a mobile phone (this avoids the movement created while you are tapping the screen to take a photo.)
If your work is digital or a video, please submit a link in your description of the artwork and upload a screen capture that best represents your submission.
Artworks that are incomplete or not ready for installation by the time of art drop off will not be accepted.
