Often two-dimensional and three-dimensional art submitted to the Art Gallery is not photographed well enough to help the art shine. Presented here are some dos and don’ts to help increase the likelihood your artwork will be accepted.
Neutral Backgrounds
Select plain walls and neutral-colored fabrics to place under and behind your art.
Three-Dimensional Art
All 3-D art submissions require two views of the art work submitted as two separate images. The first image is used for the website. The second image should be a different view from the first image. Other views include an image taken from the top, bottom, or side. This view helps the jury understand the art from a different angle or see the entirety of the art piece.
Two-Dimensional Art
When submitting pictures of 2-D Art there should be no frames or matting. Art should be photographed parallel to the art piece so the image is not skewed. Finally, the art should be cropped so there is little to no background.
When you are submitting work to the Art Gallery take the time to carefully photograph your art so it is clear and level. As a final step, crop out as much of the background as possible so the majority or all of your art is showing.
Acceptance to the gallery depends on the careful photography of your art. Any art that needs to be cropped or does not appear gallery-ready is not accepted.
