SPECIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

Artists may submit up to ten (10) distinct pieces of work (with title, size, medium, price), an artist statement, and CV for consideration in one PDF document.

Gallery White Box will retain a 30% commission total on all sales made during the exhibition. Please factor in this amount when determining your prices.

The artist is not responsible for shipping if the artwork sells during the exhibition.

The fee ensures that Gallery White Box is sustainable and can commit to future open calls and group and solo exhibitions.
