Now accepting submissions for The Studio Collective's Grand Opening Art Show! This online group exhibition opens Thursday, June 6, 2024 at studiocollectivegallery.com. Application period closes Tuesday, April 30 at 11:59pm ET.

The Studio Collective is an online collection of fine art by emerging artists, curated for style-savvy collectors. The gallery was founded by North Carolina artist Michelle Kobryn. A lifelong art lover, Michelle graduated from the George Washington University with a bachelors in Art History and Fine Art, and masters in Museum Studies. As a working artist with years of experience in the art world, she is thrilled to provide emerging artists with a venue to cultivate creativity and reach new audiences.

Submissions must be original two-dimensional wall-hung artwork and all mediums are accepted. Artwork can be any size, must be framed or have the edges painted, and be ready to hang or display with hanging wire or D-rings. Submissions will remain on consignment in our online gallery until sold and may not be listed for sale elsewhere by the artist or at any other gallery, retailer, or website.

Applicants are invited to submit 1-10 pieces for consideration. If submitting 2+ entries, we ask that they have a unified look or theme, as collections are especially attractive to visual shoppers.

Space is limited for this exhibition. Artwork that reflect current trends in interior design and decorative arts will receive special consideration. Preferred styles include but are not limited to expressive abstracts in soft tones or vibrant palettes, floral compositions, coastal landscapes or themes, abstract landscapes, abstract figurative paintings, and chinoiserie-inspired artwork. Favorable candidates have produced collections of 3+ pieces with a unified theme. All entries will be considered, but priority will be given to artwork that falls within the above parameters.

In the weeks leading up to the show, the gallery will post and promote exhibition pieces on our website, social media accounts, and to our mailing list. Accepted artists are invited to tag @the.studio.collective on Instagram so we can repost photos and videos. Photos and descriptions of artwork for website listings are due Thursday, May 30.

Because this is an online show, artists will be responsible for the timely and secure shipment of pieces directly to collectors, and artwork will remain in your care until notified by the gallery of receipt of payment from the buyer. Upon shipment, tracking information must be provided to the gallery.

For our opening show, we are offering participating artists a special limited-time gallery commission rate of 80% artist / 20% gallery (usually 65/35). Participating artists will also get first choice of dates on our solo show calendar for the remainder of 2024.

A gallery contract will be signed at time of acceptance into the show. For more information please contact hello@studiocollectivegallery.com.
