Solo Exhibits: Solo exhibits are by invitation, but if you would like to be considered for a solo exhibit, please email all of the following information in a single email to info@wallkill.art with “Solo Exhibit Request” in the subject line: 1). digital portfolio of 10 or more jpeg images 2) show title 3) artist statement 4) brief bio 5) photo of yourself 6) an Artist CV is appreciated, but not required. Your request will be reviewed by the Curating Committee which usually meets in September to confirm and plan exhibits for the next two years.
General Exhibit Terms: The Wallkill River School will collect a 30% commission on all sales which take place in the gallery or online. Wallkill River School will collect sales tax on all sales and make the appropriate filings and payments to New York State. A check for 70% of the sale price will be available for the artist to pick up within 30 days of the show closing. Artists will need to return a completed and signed Form W-9 and will receive a 1099 tax statement if their sales exceed $600 for the year.
The artist agrees to exhibit these works, and holds harmless the volunteers and staff of The Wallkill River School, Inc. Any damage incurred is the responsibility of the artists. The artist agrees to pick-up unsold works in a timely manner. The Wallkill River School is not responsible for any paintings left in the gallery after the designated “pick up” dates. Works left in the gallery for more than 30 days following the exhibit date will be stored in the basement and considered to be a charitable contribution to The Wallkill River School.
All works must be clean and in good repair. All works must have a WIRE hanger in the back. All work must be framed or have finished edges (such as painted gallery wrapped canvas). We reserve the right to refuse any work for any reason (any fees paid will be refunded if we decline to show your work). If a frame, glass or wire breaks, it is the responsibility of the artist to collect the piece and make repairs.
Hallway Exhibits: Hallway exhibits are included in Artist, Joint Artist and Represented Artist memberships and there is no fee to exhibit.
- Two (2) pieces which meet the theme requirements may be dropped off. Occassionally we will request more than two pieces per artist. At least one piece by each artist will be hung if it meets the theme and we try to accommodate all theme appropriate works submitted.
- Works are due before the 15th of every month.
- Sign work in and out on the clipboard in the foyer and fill out an art label and attach it to your piece with a roll of tape.
Juried Exhibits: The works included in juried shows will be selected by the announced juror who is typically an art professional or art organization. Not all submitted works will be accepted to the show. The art selected for the show is the choice of the juror and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Wallkill River School. Work will be presented to the juror anonymously. Submit via email to info@wallkill.art with the show title in the subject line and include the following information:
- Your Name
- Phone Number
- Title of the Piece
- Medium
- Size
- Price
- Attach a JPG of your piece(s). Up to four (4) pieces per show are allowed.
There is no fee to submit, but there will be a $20 hang fee per accepted piece. Two (2) hang fees per show are waived for Artist, Joint Artist and Represented Artist Members. Results, both accepted and unaccepted will be announced via email.
Group Exhibits: Group shows are typically un-juried exhibits which are open artists who are in a group or meet certain criteria. Our Members Exhibit, Senior Exhibit and Teachers Exhibits are examples of this type of show. See the show prospectus for specific requirements.
Receptions: Wallkill River School will hold a reception which is free and open to the public for most main gallery exhibits. Receptions are usually scheduled for Saturdays from 5-7:00 pm the first weekend that a main gallery exhibit opens. Light refreshments will be served and we gladly accept cash donations as well as food and beverages to defray reception costs. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the new works, enjoy refreshments, and engage with local artists!
