LONG DESCRIPTION
Tarot: The Fools Journey Through Life PROSPECTUS
Tarot: The Fools Journey Through Life is an exhibition of visual art running from August 3 - 26, 2018
Artwork inspired by Tarot, Oracle and Divination decks, even Lotería cards, are welcome for submission. In Gallery and Online Gallery options.
The title of this visual arts exhibition comes from the Tarot's Major Arcana. Each of the cards can be described as an archetype, a symbolic figure or situation of great significance that represents our journey starting with the innocence (The Fool) and ends with complete knowledge (The Universe).
In-Gallery artists may also indicate if they are interested in a secondary exhibition that follows The Studio Door in the lobby of the North Coast Rep Theater's production of Noel Coward's Blythe Spirit.
CATEGORIES ACCEPTED
Fine Art: Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, assemblage, collage, mixed media, fiber art, artist book, ceramics, stoneware, stain glass and sculpture. Oversized jewelry that can be defined as fine art is acceptable for this show.
This exhibition does not accept small jewelry, video, film, performance art, large installations and works requiring an external electrical source.
Submissions must be the artist’s original work.
NON-REFUNDABLE ENTRY FEE
An entry consists of one to three submissions of images. Payment of $35 per initial entry and $5 for per additional media. [1 work of art = $35; 2 works = $40; or 3 works = $45]. Payments are processed through CAFÉ ™.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE:
July 6, 2018 - 10:59 PM PST

JUROR
UK-based author of three books on Tarot and Cartomancy and
illustrator of Quantum Tarot; Quantum tarot 2.0; Healing Light Tarot; Lenormand Cartomancy and Son Tarot
BEST IN SHOW
A Juror's Award ribbon, certificate and a check for $100 will be presented to three works that express the most imaginative interpretation of the theme. One work will be designated “Best in Show” and will be used as the cover of the exhibition catalog. Exhibition catalogs will be available online print-on-demand.
GALLERY & ON-LINE GALLERY
There are two opportunities to get into this show. The juror will select works that will be exhibited at The Studio Door gallery in San Diego. Additionally, the juror will select works that will be shown in the on-line gallery only. This allows for more works to be seen beyond the limitations of the main gallery. You have the option to declare “in gallery”, “on-line gallery” or both during the application process. All accepted works regardless of “in gallery” or “online gallery” are eligible for Best in Show and will appear in the exhibition catalog.
OPTIONAL SECONDARY EXHIBITION
Artists whose works are selected for the in-gallery exhibition will have the opportunity to participate in a secondary exhibition at North County Repertory Theater in Solana Beach, CA in conjunction with the production of Noel Coward’s Blythe Spirit. Twelve works will be selected by the theater for exhibition in the lobby of the theater from September through November 12th. The Studio Door will deliver, install and deinstall. Works will be returned to the studio door for pickup and shipping.
Artists may express interest during the application process. Artwork selections will be made during The Studio Door exhibition and artists will be notified mid-August of the theater’s selections.
All terms and conditions of exhibiting at The Studio Door will apply to North County Repertory Theater and this special exhibition.
USE OF IMAGERY
If your artwork is selected for either the gallery or online exhibition, Artists grant The Studio Door permission to photograph selected artwork. The Studio Door reserves the right to use art images for marketing and publicity without compensation.
ELIGIBILITY
Visual Artists
Note: As seen above, we have two opportunities: in gallery and virtual online exhibitions spaces. It is understood that artists across the US and in other countries may find the costs of shipping and potential customs issues too costly or difficult to manage. We assume that most, if not all of these artists will prefer to participate exclusively online and that's okay. If juried in, you will still be included in the online gallery and related sales as well as in the exhibition catalog. As always, the decision should come down to whether or not it the show gives value to you and your body of work.
ARTWORK MAXIMUM SIZE
2-Dimensional Work: Height 8 feet, Width 4 feet - including frame
3-Dimensional Work: Sculptural and small installation work is encouraged. Works must be able to fit through an average doorway and not exceed 8’ in height. If you are unsure if your work is size acceptable, please contact The Studio Door at forallweknow@thestudiodoor.com.
ARTWORK PRESENTATION
2-D artwork must arrive 'gallery ready' and 'ready to hang' and be presented professionally. Preferrably, framed artwork should be in black wood or natural wood frame. No color mats. Exception is made if frame or mat is essential to the work of art. Due to problems with shipping 2-D artwork, no glass - plexi only.
CAFÉ ™ SUBMISSION PROCESS
All submissions for this show are handled through CAFÉ ™ (Callforentry.org). Artists are required to sign up and create a profile on CAFÉ ™. There is no charge for using this service.

SELECTION OF WORK
The juror will select works that will be on display at The Studio Door gallery in San Diego. These works may also be on display in on-line gallery.
