January 2027 CAC Members Only Call For Entries

Description

CAC January 2027 Gallery Members Only Show
Crossroads Art Center is excited to announce an online Call for Entries to the January 2027 Members Only Exhibition. This is not a juried show. We have made some changes that will make the submission process easier and provide more opportunities for Member Artists.
There is no theme. All media are accepted. All entered work will be displayed.
Entrants must be Gallery Members. NOTE: Membership is a different status than Artist-in-Residence. Please contact the Art Center if you are not sure of the difference. crossroadsartcenter@gmail.com
Want to become a member, know more about it, or renew? Click Here 
Submission is through ArtCall.org, unless you bring in work in person (see below).
All work must be for sale. All work must remain on display until the END OF THE EXHIBITION. Artists MAY NOT remove work early.
Work that is delivered late (after 4pm) will NOT be displayed in the live show.
Entry fee: $15 per submission, limit 2 submissions.
Commission on sales is 30%--artist gets 70%.
This exhibit will be LIVE at Crossroads Art Center, as well as on ONLINE on our website.
--WE’VE ADDED A NEW IN-PERSON OPTION:
--On designated Sundays, artists may submit work (and fill out the entry form) at the art center, noon-4pm. These works will be in the exhibition at the art center, but NOT online.
The gallery does reserve the right to refuse work. Work that has previously been accepted into a Members Show at CAC may not be submitted again.
ALL WORK that is to hang on the wall (and all 2-D work), MUST BE WIRED. NO sawtooth hangers. If work is not wired, it will not be accepted into the show.

PLEASE NOTE POLICY CHANGES:
1) We do NOT issue Refunds—
You will immediately get an email from ArtCall when payment is received. Check your spam folder if you don’t see it. The problem is usually a slow internet, or using your phone to enter. Do not continue to click the “submit payment” button. A deleted entry is still charged.
2) Need help entering the shows through ArtCall online?
 Artists that need help with entries can now get that help by paying $50 per entry. Call or email the art center to arrange an appointment.
3) AI Restrictions—
Artists must use THEIR OWN photo references. The use of any AI generated images or inspiration, professional photographed images, other artist’s images, instructor’s images or photographs taken by another individual, is STRICTLY prohibited.
Should we determine that an artist has violated this policy, the offending artist will NOT be eligible to participate in CAC online or gallery exhibitions for a period of two (2) years.
This policy safeguards the integrity of CAC and protects the individual artist from potential copyright infringement. Crossroads Art Center assumes no legal liability for violations of copyright of another individual’s material, or intellectual property rights.
4) Photography and Prints—
The gallery will accept only original work created by the artist. No reproductions or giclee prints will be accepted unless approved by Jenni Kirby, owner. 
Works where  the art process IS the printed process, i.e., etching, monoprint, silkscreen, lithograph, etc., or where the printed digital images is created by the artist with a computer program such as Procreate, Photoshop, etc. ARE permitted.  Artists must describe the process and program(s) used in the creation of their digital image.
The gallery reserves the right to refuse work if it believes these qualifiers have not been met.
5) Entering the show is an agreement. We expect the work to be delivered—
Be sure the dates for this show do not conflict with any gallery obligations you already have. As soon as work is entered, it should be temporarily removed from all sales and exhibition venues. Do not submit works with overlapping dates!
——————————————
Before submitting artwork, please read and be sure you thoroughly understand procedures and expectations for participating in our 2027 Gallery Members Only Shows.
NOTE: We place your art on our website as part of the Online Collection (unless you submit In-Person), as well as the work being live at the gallery. What you write with your entry is what we copy/paste into the wall labels and our website. We will not make changes after the Call For Entries has ended, unless we are at fault. This is ESPECIALLY true of prices. DOUBLE CHECK everything.
Submission Details about Your Art:
When you set up your profile, you will need an artist statement - 200 WORD limit, first person. This is about you and your art, not the specific work being entered. We do post it on our wall labels.
1. DO NOT create a portfolio site to enter the show.
2. The way you fill out the form is how it will be shown on the labels, awards, and publicity, as well as online. Double-check spelling, prices, and measurements.
3. Prices - DO NOT TYPE IN A COMMA. ArtCall adds it automatically. We do not change prices after the call for entry has ended. You must check AGAIN after you entered the images.
4. Measurements in order - HEIGHT, Width, Depth (H x W x D). Frame measurements must be the outside dimensions.
5. Verbiage about the piece of art - The CHARACTER limit is 300, including spaces!!  This is about the work, your process, your thoughts. Please double check all information. We recommend you log out and then log back in to check, or after you’ve submitted your images. Prices can change, no matter how careful you are.
2D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS:
For each 2D entry, 2 images of each piece are REQUIRED:
• one of the art without frame
• one with frame (if it is framed). Clients ask to see the frame.
If it is framed, this image MUST be included during the Call for Entries. We do have sales from the website, and clients want to know what the frame looks like! We need the image when you enter the show, not later. As soon as the work goes online, clients can see it.
---A FRAMED IMAGE IS REQUIRED, if work is framed!!! It must be included BEFORE the end of the CFE.
CROP OUT BACKGROUNDS.
NOTE: if the work is framed, we must have the outside measurements of the frame (H x W x D). Please do not guess. If we do not have the measurements for the art and/or the framed art, your piece will not be considered to jury. Walls and backgrounds SHOULD NOT SHOW in photos. When taking the digital image please make sure the photo is not skewed, at an angle, or crooked.
Hanging art must be WIRED so it will hang with our system. No sawtooth hangers. Art that is not wired will be automatically rejected. Please use picture-hanging wire.
Check the wires on the back: Are they too high so the hanger will show? Are they loose? If so, you take the risk of your art falling off the wall. We will not hang this.
3D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS:
For each 3D, installation, or wearable art entry, your MUST submit 2 images:
• one overall front
• one detail—zoomed into a small section of interest
Keep backgrounds as plain as possible.
Verbiage about each piece of art --The CHARACTER limit is 300, including spaces!! this is about the art work, and is used for all publicity online and on labels. Spellcheck it as well as word count it!
---Again, we copy/paste all the text you put in ArtCall, so please check everything. We will not be making changes after the CFE ends, unless the mistake is on our end.
PRICES will NOT be changed after the CFE ends. Open ArtCall and re-check.
After submitting, go back in and re-check your information. Did you enter the REQUIRED number of photos? Is your PRICE CORRECT? MEASUREMENTS? Is your VERBIAGE about the art complete—or too long?
—We do not change prices or text after the CFE ends, unless we are at fault.
NOTE: You can delete and change photos, and change text within each submission up until end-of-call. If you made a mistake, do not delete an entire submission and then replace it with a new one--ArtCall will charge you for a new submission! NO REFUNDS.
