find new artists....

Second Street Gallery strives to showcase the best of up and coming artists at the cusp of breaking into the art world.  In order to find these new talents we turn to our Artist Review Panel.  All submissions from artists are collected and anonymously critiqued by a panel of local artists, scholars and professionals.  The choices made by this panel affect the gallery’s future since artists that are selected by the panel are frequently shown in the following exhibition season.  At SSG it is our mission to showcase the newest arrivals in contemporary art.  So how does it work???  ARP meets throughout the fall to review artist’s submissions up until that date.  Each artist is presented to the panel anonymously, solely represented by their work and artist statement. The panel evaluates and ranks each artist.  The top scoring artists are then recommended to the director for consideration.

In order to display these new artistic finds we need your help in discovering them! If you know of any artists please urge them to submit or, if you have a portfolio of your own, feel free to submit. 

If you are interested in applying to ARP for consideration or know someone who is, we ask each artist to submit an all-inclusive packet about his or her proposed exhibit.

 In the packet we ask the artists to provide:

-10 images of works created in the past three years individually labeled with title, date and orientation (.jpeg format or in a PowerPoint slide show, please refrain from putting your name on the images) on a disk. If your proposed work is an installation and/or site-specific, please provide a brief description of how and what you would install and any other pertinent information

-An image list telling the name of each image as well as it’s dimensions and medium

-A current résumé including e-mail, address, and phone number

-An artist’s statement that also specifies as to whether you would prefer to be shown in our Main Gallery or the Dové Gallery

-A processing fee in the form of a $15 check made out to Second Street Gallery

-A self-addressed stamped envelope with adequate packaging and postage for your submission to be returned after use (optional)
