To submit your art to be shown in the Gallery, please follow our step-by-step "How to Submit Art" guide below.
The following guidelines apply to all art submissions: The artwork content should be appropriate and uplifting for most audiences of any age, gender, race, culture or religion. All submitted artwork must be the submitter's original work, meaning the creation has not been copied or duplicated from another person's artwork, including drawings, photographs, posters, album covers or designs.
See "Submission Guidelines" for more details and exceptions.
You may submit copies of your own original artwork (drawings, watercolor, acrylic, oil, collages); however, make sure to clearly identify them as such. See "Submission Guidelines" for more details.
Submission questions may be emailed to gallery@kingmanarts.org or call 978-660-9764.
Prior to each show, a "Call for Art" email is sent to artists on our list. This is an invitation for artists to submit their artwork to the next gallery show.

If artwork is standalone (ie. a sculpture, book, etc.), display pedestals can be provided. Please reply to your acceptance email requesting a pedestal.

Photo is taken at an angle and is cluttered
If your artwork has a frame with glass or plexiglass, it is recommended that you remove the glass during the photo-taking process to reduce lighting issues.
It is acceptable to submit a photo of your artwork without the frame or glass as long as you mention that it will be framed. Be sure to specify in your email if the dimensions you include are with or without the frame.

When an art piece sells, the profit is split 70/30, 70% of the sale price going to the artist and 30% going to the gallery.

The theme is just a jumping off point and a source of inspiration - it does not have to be interpreted literally. The primary focus here is to showcase the talents of our local artists. While theme-based art is desired, artwork off-topic is also welcome. Great-looking art gets priority in the selection process so please do not limit yourself.
Should you choose to submit previously shown art, please be sure to inform us in your submission email when your piece was last shown in the Gallery.
It is possible to submit artwork that has yet to be completed and is handled on a case-by-case basis. You will need to write to the Curator and explain the situation and anticipated completion date. You can contact the Curator at submissions@kingmanarts.org.
Don't be discouraged! Many reasons exist for why a piece may not have been accepted to this show, including available wall space. Keep submitting!
If your art was put on standby, it has been placed in a queue in case we need to fill gallery space later on in the show as pieces sell. Do NOT bring standby pieces to art intake. We will contact you if we need you to bring in your piece.
Please check your spam folder and be sure to add submissions@bealestreettheater.com and submissions@kingmanarts.org to your email address book.
If the issue persists, please contact us at galleryvolunteering@kingmanarts.org to get in touch with our Technical Support. We will get back to you as soon as we can!
