Calling all DKG creative artists to New Orleans, or affectionately known as The Big Easy! The Arts and Humanities Jury is excited to announce the addition of a Member Art Gallery at the DKG 2022 International Convention in New Orleans, July 12-16, 2022. We will host a Member Art Gallery to showcase our members’ talents in the visual and literary arts, photography and musical composition. This multi-faceted art exhibit will take place during the convention and be open for viewing on Friday and Saturday, respectively, for attendees’ enjoyment. We look forward to many of our members being “in that number” as we go marching, traveling, and sharing our talents for this exciting opportunity.
The application process is an easy format and follows the Art Gallery submission categories and format. Here are details to consider as you prepare to share your art with the gallery.
Application Process: One DKG member may submit one work of art. Work submitted must be original (not from kits), one-of-a-kind, and creative. All media, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional, will be considered. Creative writing can be displayed on two panels displayed side by side. This includes but is not limited to painting, drawing, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, photography, quilting, embroidery, needlepoint, stained glass, or mosaic. Artists must upload an image of their entry to be reviewed by the Arts and Humanities Jury. Entry selection will reflect the most originality, quality, and space limitations of the venue. Note: Submissions will not be accepted that violate the Society's position on inclusivity (religion, race, sexual orientation/gender, etc.) Applications must be submitted by 11:00 p.m. on June 4, 2022. All applicants must be current Delta Kappa Gamma members. Members must apply via Application for the Member Art Gallery.
Selection Process: Submissions will be reviewed to ensure the quality and professionalism of the exhibited work. Notice of acceptance, along with the details of the exhibit, will be emailed to the applicants after the selection process on June 10, 2022. Each artist will have a 3 by 3-foot area. If art is larger in size, it will be considered for inclusion based on space. For example, larger items like quilts could be folded or draped to allow viewing while also saving space.
Member Art Gallery Details: All participants will receive a card thanking them for their participation along with their entry displayed next to their art during the conference. We are excited to have some of our artists choosing to sell their art during the convention. This would be a private sale via a personal check or other arranged payment made directly to the artist from the buyer. Members can also indicate if a portion of the proceeds of a sale will be donated to the DKG International Educators Foundation. This is an exciting opportunity to not only purchase art from our talented, international sisterhood but to contribute to this worthy cause.
