Deadline for submissions: November 4, 2011 (see below for email, mail & delivery options)

Notification: Artists will be notified of acceptance and show dates the week of November 22nd, at the latest.

WARM is accepting submissions for a series of exhibits of two-dimensional art at the Minnesota Women’s Building in St. Paul. Exhibitions will be of six weeks duration, with two or three artists participating in each show. Artists will be selected by the WARM Exhibitions Committee. Every effort is made to pair up artists whose work complements each other and to select outstanding artwork from members who demonstrate a well-developed, cohesive body of work. This is a large building with lots of interior spaces in halls, offices and conference rooms. Applicants should have 10-20 artworks minimum that will be ready to show (framed, glazed or stretched canvas, wired with hangers). New or renewing membership can be purchased on the Membership page at the WARM website in order to be eligible for this exhibition opportunity.

Artist Responsibilities: Submitting artists must be WARM members and agree to a 30% commission from any sales going to WARM. The artists in each show are responsible for the cost of reception refreshments and the printing and mailing of postcards to the WARM mailing list, as well as their own mailing list. Artworks are on display at the artist’s own risk.

WARM support: The Exhibition Committee assists with installation and the reception. Assistance with postcard design and social media/web marketing is also available.
