Artist Statements (totally voluntary)
There is no expectation for you to write an artist statement, but, if you are interested in having an artist statement accompanying your artwork that explains motivation, inspiration, artistic approach, etc., please follow these guidelines, per the gallery's request:
Thank you!
- Keep the length to a medium paragraph (max 10 sentences) and no more so the walls are not overwhelmed with text and it is all uniform.
- EMAIL your statement to Amanda (art111.springs@gmail.com) the same week that you drop off your artwork (around July 27th-28th).
- Put your name at the bottom of the statement.
- The statement should only be about the artwork, not a personal bio.
- Amanda will print out the statements so that they are uniform.
- Email only. Do not give her a printed copy, because she will not have time to re-type it.
- Do not send it too early. July 27th-28th is ideal so she does not have to dig through past emails to find yours.
Thank you!

Art 111 Gallery expects gallery level attention to detail when it comes to the art hung in their space. They expect artists to use professional supplies to ensure the life of your paintings/sculpture/pottery etc. so their clients can enjoy their art investment for years to come.
ALL art to be hung on the walls must have the following:
All art will be assessed on a case by case basis to ensure that the most creative freedoms for artist are upheld and honored as well upholding the gallery standards. If you have any questions about these expectations with relation to the piece you are submitting for the show, please contact Amanda at Art 111. |
Artist's Vision for the Show
To clarify and expand on a point originally posted in the guidelines, below: your artwork can be about anything related to bees, pollinators, or how they may interact with your subject in some way. I ask that somewhere in the piece, a dead bee is included. If you are struggling with how to execute that, this video might give you some ideas.
General Theme Guidelines
For artists participating in the gallery show titled, "A Farewell to Bees" -- at Art 111 Gallery and Art Supply -- here are some general guidelines and my goal for the show's theme.
Opening night of the show will be First Friday, August 2nd. A special artists' reception (guests and public are welcome) and topic conversation will be held on the Third Friday, August 16th. If you have any questions about how you would like to participate, the medium you'd like to use, size of piece, etc. please contact Amanda Stoke at Art 111 Gallery or contact me, Thom Phelps. |
