The checklist must have your name, address, phone number, email address, and website (if available) at the top, followed by the title of the work, date, materials, and presentation size for each image submitted. Do not send prints or original works.

2. Letter of intent. This should simply tell us what you are applying for. Is the enclosed a curatorial project? Are you only looking for a solo show or are you open to inclusion in other projects? Etc...

3. Resume, One page statement and any additional support materials that will give us insight into the work.

4.If you are proposing a curated project or a site-specific installation you need to have a descriptive narrative (one-page only please). Applications for site-specific work should contain images that give as much insight as possible into the final project.

6. The Art Center will handle work with care, but is not responsible or liable for any loss, damage, deterioration, or destruction of any loan which occurs in connection with reviewing work.
