Art Access/Access II Galleries
2009 Exhibition Call for Entries

Gallery Philosophy
The Art Access Gallery is one of the many programs of Art Access, a non-profit organization. Believing that the arts are for everyone, Art Access shows stimulating art in an inclusive setting by artists from a broad spectrum of backgrounds and points-of-view.

Eligibility
Art Access Gallery welcomes exhibit proposals from emerging and established artists, artists with and without disabilities and artists representing other underserved communities. We focus on Utah artists and ask that artwork intended for exhibit at Art Access not have been previously shown at other venues.

Mediums
All mediums are accepted: drawing, ceramics, painting, photography, printmaking, mixed mediums, space installations, sculpture, textiles, etc. In 1998, Art Access added Access II, a second gallery space to accommodate smaller exhibits, or makes possible a larger exhibit in combination with the Art Access Gallery.

Proposal Requirements
1) a cover sheet stating your name, address, phone numbers, and medium
2) six images on a CD of recent work, with attached information indicating name, title, medium, size, and date. (Please call prior to deadline if requesting to submit artwork in a format other than a CD.) Images should be jpeg format and no more than 100 dpi.
3) a statement and description of the proposed exhibition (Please consider the philosophy of the gallery as you develop this section.)
4) a brief resume that outlines your education, exhibition history, awards, and any other relevant information

Deadline
All proposals and CD images must be postmarked or hand-delivered by July 1, 2008. Send or bring required information to: Art Access, 230 South 500 West, #125, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84101. Enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return of your CD. CDs will not be returned without this envelope.

Exhibition Selection
A panel review committee will meet to select exhibitions for the 2009 gallery schedule. Quality of work, evidence of ability to produce proposed exhibit, balance of mediums submitted for the season, and completion and clarity of the proposal will all be considered. Notification will be made by the middle of August.

Sales
If you are selected for an exhibition, the Art Access Gallery requires a 30% commission on all works that are sold. The commissions are used to help cover the costs of gallery programming. Work does not have to be for sale. The gallery, a member of the Salt Lake Gallery Association, participates in the association's Gallery Strolls, held the third Friday of each month.

Please call Ruth Lubbers or Sheryl Gillilan at Art Access (328-0703) with any questions or concerns as you develop your exhibit proposal. Thank you for your interest in the Art Access Gallery.
