ABINGDON VA - An important part of William King Museum's mission is to exhibit work by local artists.
The museum is inviting artists to submit a portfolio of recent work for solo and group exhibitions to be held monthly. Also encouraged are self-curated group exhibitions based on a theme or concept. The museum will consider projects in all media. Opening receptions will be held for each exhibition.
Submissions should include:
* cover letter
* brief artist bio and statement
* up to20 digital slides on a CD at 300dpi and suitable for printing
* slide identification sheet with title, year, medium and dimension for each work
* a self-addressed stamped envelope if you want your materials returned.
The museum will meet with a jury twice annually. If your portfolio is selected, you will be notified individually. All portfolios will be reviewed twice before taken from the selection process. Only one portfolio per artist/curator per year will be accepted.
