Resource Description

The banner size is 36” x 60” (3 feet by 5 feet) and will be hung vertically or horizontally. Banners can be painted, mixed media, or you can submit a photo or digital image and the Gallery will print it. Another option is to propose a sculpture that would be self-standing without requirements of attachments and secure. Other type of installations such as yarn, can be proposed if they can be ready to install and are dropped off. (No artists will be allowed to be on campus to install work.) Disclaimer: Sculptures and artwork will be exposed to elements. The campus is safe but we can’t guarantee that artwork won’t be tampered with or taken. Think of these artwork as temporary and ephemeral. Our insurance will not cover these artworks because they are not being shown in the secure gallery. But ideally our plan is to return the work to the artist at the end of the exhibit. Also, because of the current Covid-19 situation, this exhibition could be cancelled at any time. If it’s cancelled we will work with class to create a virtual gallery website. Eligibility: -NO FEES to submit. -Open to local artists for work that will be painted/done on the banner and will be dropped off. -Open to all artists from any region for works that are digital and printed by gallery. (At the end of the exhibit we can not mail the printed works to artist outside of San Diego unless the artist pays for shipping.) -Media limited to: painted or collaged/sewn onto banner material provided, digital to be printed on banner material by gallery staff.
