Exhibition Opportunities

All artists, SDAI members or the general public, are encouraged to submit artwork for exhibition consideration. On the average, a new exhibit is featured every six weeks. Typically, each exhibit consists of work submitted by regional artists in two forms - a one foot piece and a larger piece, no bigger than 8 feet in any dimension. Two regional artist's solo work are also displayed in tandem during the exhibit. The jurying process is typically on a weekend, with the installation of the show occurring the following week. All Exhibits begin with an Opening Night reception for the general public. All participating artists are encouraged to attend.

Artwork categories and submission :

On a regular basis SDAI: Museum of the Living Artist has two categories for members to enter artworks for our exhibitions. They are the One-Foot show and the Regional show. You may enter one artwork for each show. Below is a brief description of both of these categories:

The One-Foot Show: The artwork cannot be over 12 inches in any one dimension, including the frame. This restriction applies to sculptures or other three-dimensional artworks.

The Regional Show: The artwork cannot be over eight feet in any one dimension, whether it is a two or three-dimensional work.

Please remember that any artwork over 40 pounds is the responsibility of the artist to have it placed on the gallery floor for display for the juror and for removal from our gallery.
