Call For Art!
It’s time again for HCOA’s annual 5X7 show. This small works show is about challenging artists to think inside the box. There are no prompts or subjects, open to all ages and abilities. This show is about experimenting, trying something new, and comradery among the South Peninsula arts community. Open to all mediums. Each artist may submit up to 6 works.
Participation Guidelines:
- All work must be 5 x 7 or smaller. Whether it’s a 2D piece or a 3D piece, the largest dimensions are 5in. and 7in. This means the largest 2D piece must be 5×7 or smaller (6×6 square acceptable) and the largest 3D piece can be 7 x 7 x 5 (6 x 6 x 6 acceptable). *Small/thin frames are acceptable but must not add significantly to the size; i.e., no 8×10″ frames matted to 5×7″.
- All entries must be for sale. HCOA takes a 40% commission on sold works (35% for HCOA members).
Maximum 6 pieces per artist.
- Completed submission form required.
- Works should have been created within the last 2 years and not previously shown at HCOA.
- Artworks must be ready for gallery display. Stretched canvases do not need wire. Framed artworks and items on canvas board, panel, wood, etc must have wire or hooks on the back for hanging.
- We reserve the right to reject entries that do not meet gallery standards or adhere to the guidelines.
Important Dates:
Submission Deadline: August 5th – October 26th
Drop off your work, ready to hang, to the HCOA office between October 7th and October 26th ( Work turned in late may not be shown)
