Some artists do many different kinds of art and wish to show the gallery a piece of every separate thing they do.  They may bring in many varying types of art and then are not accepted because it is felt that they are still experimenting and have not yet developed maturity in their medium.  It would be better to submit pieces that are somewhat similar in their nature, perhaps a series.  We are looking for what is known as a "body of work."  This means that we need to see five related pieces of art with a consistent, cohesive style and a clear artistic vision.

Since we are a co-op gallery and group exhibitions must consist of artworks that go well together, we will consider how the work is presented.  Frames should be simple and in neutral tones with wires for hanging.  Museum-wrap canvases are acceptable.
