Current TopicsCall for Artists: MTC Community Art ProgramOctober 24, 2014 We generally prefer original artwork over reproductions, and accept paintings, drawings, photos and mixed-media works. Works should be framed and ready to hang with the Arakawa hook-and-cable hanging system, which requires D-rings or loops on the backs of artwork. Framing may not be necessary if the works appear adequately finished without it. We prefer Plexiglass to real glass on the fronts of framed pieces. Artists should live and work in the nine Bay Area counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma) or have a strong connection to the Bay Area. Artists from elsewhere in California or the U.S. may be considered when space is available. See a list of our current and past exhibits here. Shows generally run for three months, but the timeframe can vary. The number of works required depends on the gallery space. Artists are generally expected to transport their works to and from MTC, with MTC providing hanging assistance and insurance while on MTC’s premises. MTC also will publicize the show. No payments are offered to artists, but artists or arts organizations have the right to offer their works for sale and to take 100 percent of the proceeds. MTC reserves the right to determine what artwork is appropriate for its setting and audiences. |
