GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING TO THE JAHC JURIED ART SHOW
Application:
Please fill out and submit the application form before March 31st at 5 PM—late applications will not be accepted. (Call us at 586-2787 with any questions regarding the application form). Applicants must submit information and high-quality pictures for at least one piece, but are able to submit up to 3 individual pieces for the Juried Art Show. The 2019 application fee is $35.00. Applicants are not allowed to pay multiple entrance fees to submit more than the 3-piece limit.
When complete applications are submitted, a JAHC staff member will contact you for application payment. Payments can be made in person at the JACC or over the phone (586-2787) with a Credit Card. Submission of application and payment of fee ensure that the application will be reviewed by the juror, but it does not ensure participation in the show. Any applications that have non-payment by 5 PM on April 10th will be disqualified. JAHC staff member will follow up with you before the payment deadline, but we are not responsible to make sure the payment has been received.
Selection of Artwork:
After the application process is closed the juror will do the first review of submissions digitally. Applicants will be notified of work that has been selected and/or declined by April 19th. If one or more pieces are selected, it is the applicant’s responsibility to deliver the art work to the JACC by May 14th. If the applicant lives outside of Juneau, they are responsible for the cost of shipping to and from the JACC. Staff will provide selected artists with further instructions related to packing and shipping of their artwork.
Selected pieces are expected to arrive to the JACC in “gallery ready” condition (i.e. hanging hardware, framed, etc.) or they will automatically be disqualified. There will be a second and final review by the juror in person at the JACC. Artists will be notified by May 17th of works that have been accepted or declined for the exhibit. Exhibiting artists will have the opportunity for a private reception with a JAHC Gallery Patron before the show opens to the public on First Friday in June. Details of this TBD. All artists who apply, regardless of their acceptance into the exhibit are invited to attend the public opening reception.
To apply for the JAHC Juried Art Show, please fill out this form. Update–applications are now closed!
