Keith F. Davis is Senior Curator of Photography, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and an advisor to the Hall Family Foundation, both in Kansas City, MO. In a career spanning more than forty years, Davis has curated about 100 exhibitions and has lectured widely on the history of photography in the U.S. and abroad. His awards include a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities (1986-87) for his work on the Civil War-era photographer George N.

He has written or contributed essays to more than fifty books and catalogues, including, most recently, The Life and Work of Sid Grossman (2016); The Photographs of Ralston Crawford (2018); Golden Prospects: Daguerreotypes of the California Gold Rush (2019); Minkkinen (2019); Ed Clark: On Assignment (2020); and Mark Klett: Seeing Time, Forty Years of Photographs (2020).

ACCEPTED PHOTOS

• Both stages of jurying in this show will be done blindly (the juror will judge solely based on the image of the submitted photos without knowing the identity of the artist).
• Works to be included in the show will be chosen no later than Friday, December 18th.
• If your work is chosen, you will be notified via email.
• All work accepted into the show must be for sale as part of the exhibition.
• Photographers are responsible for pricing their work, but SAGE can provide guidance on this matter if desired.
• For any photo that is sold by an artist who is a member of SAGE, SAGE will retain a 35% commission of the retail price and the remaining 65% of the retail price will be remitted to the artist.  For any artwork that is sold by an artist who is not a member of SAGE, SAGE will retain a 40% commission of the retail price and the remaining 60% of the retail price will be remitted to the artist.
• Do not drop off or ship any work to SAGE until you have been notified of your acceptance into the show.
• You will be required to fill out and return a Loan Agreement Contract once your work has been selected in the show.
• Loan Agreements can be returned via email to sageinfo@sageart.org or included with your accepted photo(s) when they are delivered to SAGE.

ART SHIPPING AND DELIVERY

• If your work is selected, you must either hand-deliver or ship your pieces to arrive at SAGE by Saturday, January 16th by 5.30 pm.
• Please label all photos (on the back) with your name, price, title, and contact information.
• If you are shipping your work, you must include a pre-paid return shipping label (printed with your address and a barcode for the shipping carrier to scan).
• Unsold work will not be returned without this label. SAGE will not accept money orders or postage stamps for return shipping costs on artwork.
• Do not use packing peanuts to pack your art. Please submit your work in a sturdy box that can be reused for returning your art in the event it does not sell.
