Short Description
Kingston Gallery is seeking work in all media and disciplines—abstract, representational and conceptual—in response to the essay, “The Blue of Distance”, by Rebecca Solnit. We are looking for work that explores concepts such as the sensation of longing, desire, appearance, distance, intangibility, light, arriving, departing, solitude. We are also thinking about work that focuses on the unknowable, things there seen from here, or that which cannot be possessed.
Eligibility
An artist-run gallery incorporated in 1982, Kingston Gallery exhibits work of Boston-area contemporary artists. Gallery Artists specialize in a diverse range of media, including painting, photography, sculpture, and installation. Kingston Gallery exhibitions are widely viewed and receive regular attention in both print and online publications including Art in America, Art New England, ArtScope, and The Boston Globe.
Submission Requirements
All media will be considered, and alternative media is welcomed. Work may not exceed 6 feet in height in its installed form, and must fit through an entrance of 36” x 80”.
Submission is online only and jpegs should not exceed 1200 pixels in the longest dimension and should not exceed 5MB file size. Video files should be .mp4 or .mov files. Audio files should be .mp3 or .wav files. Selected artwork must be dropped off and picked up at the gallery, no shipping. The gallery is not responsible for damage to artwork that is poorly displayed or damaged in transit. All 2D work should be ready to hang and works on paper must be framed. Artists are responsible for the display of digital media (monitors, etc.) and 3D work must include a list of needs such as pedestals, mounts, etc. The gallery will take a 50% commission on sales.
Delivered artwork must be the same works submitted in the application. Presentation must be professional: i.e., no clip frames.
