Group Show FAQ

 

Q: Can anyone really be the next Group Show artist? What about my preschooler – she’s the next Marla Olmstead!

Submitters must be 18 or older.

 

Q: How many works can I submit?

We recommend a minimum of three images per artist but you're welcome to increase your odds and submit as many as you'd like!

 

Q: Is there a submission fee?

Yes.  $10/submission.

 

Q.  What if I don’t have digital copies of my work? How should I submit my best stuff?

Sorry, but 3rd Ward only accepts submissions through our online form.  We cannot accept submissions that are mailed or hand delivered to us.  Try taking a picture of your work and submitting it that way!

 

Q: Are Transactions on your website secure?

Yes.  We use the latest encryption technology and trusted processers to make sure your personal information is kept confidential and private.

 

Q: Can I submit if I live outside of the US? I have a sexy accent.

Our Solo Show is open to artists around the world! However, we are unable to provide transportation or housing for the selected artist and we cannot reimburse any shipping costs.

If you are unable to attend & would like to ship your work here - we would install it for you (as long as you provide specific instructions). 

 

Q: What if my file is the wrong size? What if my bio isn’t long enough?!

Don't worry! We will contact you if we, or the judges, need any additional information.
