At least $1,500 will be awarded at the juror’s discretion.

We would like to celebrate our 10th anniversary by following the theme of our namesake. Refined, based on Webster’s definition, means free from impurities, fastidious, cultivated, precise, and exact. Each of these broad definitions could be considered through design, narrative content, social/political work, and other various representations. Entries may include work that honors “refined” in the broadest sense while embracing the diverse field of metalworking and jewelry. Jewelry, vessels, utensils, installation, and sculpture will be considered.  We encourage the use of a wide variety of materials and techniques.

 

ENTRY FEE

A $35 entry fee will be required. A maximum of THREE (3) entries per artist is permitted. One view of each work is allowed (detail shots will be considered as one view). Two-dimensional work may not exceed 60 inches in its longest dimension nor weigh more than 75 lbs. Artists may not substitute another work for an accepted work, alter a work or the sale price, nor withdraw a work before the end of the exhibition. The SFA Galleries director reserves the right to refuse any entry that does not match the images submitted or meet the criteria enumerated here.

SHIPPING

Artists must ARRANGE and PAY for ROUND-TRIP shipment of their work and any insurance coverage during transit. A pre-paid shipping label MUST accompany the artwork for return shipment. Hand delivery is also acceptable.
