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
artists.
We specialize in paintings of all mediums. We do not exhibit prints, digital
images, or video installations.
If you decide
to submit your slides, here is the procedure:
1. Submit 12-20 slides of available work. Please be sure that each
of your slides is labeled with your name, title, size and media. Though
we will accept photographs in lieu of slides, your photographs should
be of impeccable quality since our initial judgment of your work will
be based upon whatever we see in your portfolio.
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; many of our artists are showing in a gallery for the very
first time.
4.
The review process takes from 2-3 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.
