Before submitting artwork, please read and be sure you understand thoroughly procedures and expectations for participating in our 2025 juried all-media shows (AMS).
NOTE: If accepted, we place your art on our website as part of the Online show. What you write with your entry is what we copy/paste. Please be sure you get it right. It is also what we use for our wall labels. We will not make changes after the Call For Entries has ended, unless we are at fault. This is ESPECIALLY true of prices. DOUBLE CHECK everything by closing out ArtCall and then going back in to check before the end of the Call for Entries.
Submission Details:
You will need an artist statement - 200 word limit in first person when you first register in ArtCall.
1. You do not have to create a portfolio site to enter the show.
2. The way you fill out the form is how it will be shown on the labels, awards, and publicity.
a. Name: Use Capital Letters for the first letters of your name.
b. Prices - DO NOT TYPE IN A COMMA. This produces the wrong price. ArtCall will add it automaticaally
c. Measurements - HEIGHT first, then Width then Depth (H x W x D)
d. Verbiage regarding the piece of art - The character limit is 300!! This is used for all publicity and labels online and inhouse. Spellcheck it as well as word count it! We use it exactly the way you have written it in ArtCall, by copy/pasting what you type. We do NOT change prices or wording after the Call For Entries ends, unless we are at fault.
e. FYI - You can go back in and add/edit images and edit text until the call ends.
f. Please double check all information.
2D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS:
3 images of each piece are required, one of the art without frame, one with frame, and a close detail image (zoomed into a small section of interest). If the art is unframed, only 2 photos are required.
If it is framed, photos of art in the frame MUST be submitted with the entry. This image is be included during the Call for Entries period.
NOTE: if the work is framed, we must have the outside measurements of the frame (H x W x D). Please do not guess. If we do not have the measurements for the art and/or the framed art, your piece will not be considered to jury. Walls and backgrounds SHOULD NOT SHOW in photos. When taking the digital image please make sure the photo is not at an angle or crooked.
3D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS:
For each 3D, installation, or wearable art entry, submit 3 images: one overall front, one overall rear or sideview, and one detail (zoomed into a small section of interest).
• Detail images must show an important aspect of the artwork. Make sure that both the full-view and detail images are oriented correctly. Please keep backgrounds as unobtrusive as possible.
IMPORTANT: After submitting, please go back in and double check your information. Did you enter the required 2 or 3 photos? Is your price correct? Measurements? Is your statement complete? Too long?
NOTE: You can delete and change photos, and change text within each submission up until end-of-call. Do not delete an entire submission and then replace it with a new one--ArtCall will charge you for a new submission!
Crossroads Art Center’s AMS are open to mid-Atlantic artists through a bimonthly call for entries. The 2025 AMS shows are exhibited at Crossroads Art Center and as online exhibitions where customers can shop directly from the website. The juried shows offer cash prizes for the winners. Each juried show is juried by a prominent art professional from the community (a gallery director, curator, museum official, arts professor, or accomplished artist). Cash awards are given for 1st $100, 2nd $75, and 3rd $50 place winners, as well as Honorable Mentions. Member shows and special exhibitions are not usually juried or offer cash awards
