Portfolio Review at Friedman's Fine Art (Submission Guidelines)

We love looking at new art and review work from many prospective artists each month.

If you are interested in submitting your work for review, we recommend you spend some time looking through this site to get a sense of the type of work we carry and the prices we set. Better still, we encourage you to visit Friedman's to experience our gallery first-hand and determine if it would be a desired venue in which to exhibit your work.

Here is some other information to keep in mind while deciding whether to submit your slides:

Friedman's is a privately owned, commercial gallery that shows the work of emerging and established artists.
We specialize in paintings of all mediums. We do not exhibit prints, digital images, or video installations.

If you would like for us to review your work, here is the procedure:

1. Submit 12-20 images of available work. Please be sure that each image is labeled with your name, title, size and media or accompanied by a list of this information. Images can be submitted as printed photographs or as JPEG files on a CD.

2. Include a resume, cover letter and statement about your art. Please provide a SASE for the return of your materials. A jury of Friedman's staff members will review artist's information.

3. Work is assessed for its quality, originality and potential to enhance the collection exhibited by the gallery. Some Friedman's artists have MFA degrees while others are self-taught. We represent artists who have exhibited in many different venues and received critical acclaim for their work; while some of our artists are showing in a gallery for the very first time.

4. The review process takes from 2-6 weeks.

5. If your work is selected for further review, we will make arrangements with you to see the originals.

6. All of our works are on consignment from the artists. We have short-term, renewable, non-exclusive contracts with many, but not all of our artists. Though our contracts are not exclusive, we do request right-of-refusal from our artists so that we can offer our customers what we believe to be the artist's best work.

If you have additional questions about portfolio review, please call Friedman's and we will be happy to assist you.
