TERMS & CONDITIONS LONG DESCRIPTION Please read the complete Long Description for dates and other restrictions before submitting. GALLERY DESCRIPTION 311 Gallery, 311 West Martin Street, Raleigh NC has been bringing color to Raleigh’s Warehouse District since 2007 and is now in the center of the vibrant art hub that grew up around us. Our Main Exhibition Gallery hosts monthly shows: either a national show of juried works or the works of invited artists. In addition, 12 artist studios exhibit the works of over 30 resident artists. The 311 Gallery Gift Shop offers smaller works by resident and invited artists, including ceramic, glass and wood artists, as well as painters using a variety of media. 311 Gallery is centrally located 3-4 blocks from the Raleigh Convention Center and major downtown hotels. Our consistent advertising in the Art Guide, Raleigh Convention & Visitors Bureau information, TravelHost Magazine, etc., and our reputation for presenting a wide variety of styles all bring us visitors and purchasing patrons from throughout the Southeast, including Charleston, Atlanta, Charlotte, and Richmond, and indeed from across the North and South Americas. The main goals of our juried shows are to introduce Mid-Atlantic art lovers to the diversity of work produced by contemporary artists and to inspire both artists and art lovers to strengthen our appreciation of all things art.

Delivery of accepted artwork Accepted artwork must be delivered to 311 Gallery between 12:00 and 4:00 pm on June 28-30, 2018. NOTE: Items to be shipped to 311 Gallery must be scheduled to arrive on these dates. Artwork to be shipped back must arrive in reusable packing and containers. 311 Gallery will re-pack each piece in its original packing for return. Art must be removable without destruction of return packing materials so that we can easily repack it in the original packing and container. Put both your name and artwork name on your box, so we know which box goes with what artwork! NOTE: if you do not have suitable art shipping containers, FEDEX and UPS have relatively inexpensive shipping boxes that protect 2-D art during shipping and can be reused for several shipments. More durable (and expensive) art shipping boxes with even more protection are available from many art supply houses, as well as Uline and other packaging suppliers. They may be reused for many shipments and are very cost effective if you ship items of the same (or smaller) size often. DO NOT PACK ART IN LOOSE FOAM PEANUTS. Such packages will be returned unopened. Experience unfortunately shows that (1) foam peanuts do not adequately protect art from shifting, (2) art cannot be removed without scattering peanuts and requiring cleanup, (3) the art itself is in jeopardy due to the static cling adhering parts of peanuts to objects in the area (we have seen photographs rejected for awards because of specks on the photograph that were later determined to be specks from foam peanuts and we have seen art damaged by peanut abrasion), and (4) the art is practically impossible to return into the packaging in a secure manner. Further, the majority of the works of art that have arrived in damaged condition have been packed in loose peanuts (or other loose packing that can easily shift). Having said that, we have seen art successfully packed in a set of closed plastic bags of loose peanuts that prevented the art from shifting, kept the face of the art in the middle of the package, and did not allow loose peanuts to escape. We cannot accept items packed in loose foam peanuts! A little tape goes a long way. It only takes a few short pieces to secure several layers of bubble wrap that has been wrapped around a painting. If you wrap a painting in so much tape that we have difficulty in safely cutting it to unwind bubble wrap, we will not open it—we will return it to you as is. We cannot and do not accept liability for damage to artwork that occurs while trying to unwrap it. If you choose not to use a box that is made for shipping art, you can still pack it safely with minimal effort in a manner that is both easy for us to remove and easy for us to repack. Wrapping with bubble wrap a few times in one direction and then a few times in the cross direction will suspend the face of the artwork away from the side of the box and keep the corners of the artwork well inside the corners of the box—if the bubble wrap fills the box (or additional bubble wrap is inserted around the edges of the wrapped piece to keep if from moving. We also see artists protecting the edges of frames and paintings with sections of foam pipe insulation (or swimming noodles). Pipe insulation comes pre-slit to slip over the pipe, so it easily slips over the side of a frame. If the ends are cut at 45 degrees with a utility knife, the frame is completely covered. The basic idea is to keep the art substrate in the center of the box to limit the opportunity of being damaged if a box is punctured or dropped. Pickup of unsold artwork or return shipping At the conclusion of the show, unsold artwork may be picked up on Saturday, July 28, 2018 from 12:00 to 4:00 pm, unless other arrangements have been made. Artists who wish to have their artwork shipped back to them must provide prepaid return shipping labels, including any desired insurance. Artists must arrange return shipping with their local UPS/FedEx/USPS or other shipping office at the close of the exhibition. Shipping insurance each way is the responsibility of the artist. 311 Gallery will not accept monies for shipping and is not responsible for works lost, stolen, or damaged once picked up by the shipper. Check your local shipper for prepaid return labels, call tag systems, and printable internet shipping labels. Artists may include the return label with the shipment of the work to 311 Gallery or provide the gallery with a prepaid label by the last day of the exhibition. Unsold art will be packed the day after the exhibition closes. Due to the lack of available storage, unsold artworks not picked up by the deadline become the property of 311 Gallery, unless prior arrangements have been made. We appreciate your understanding of the need for timely pickup of unsold works.
