Application Requirements

• All work must be original, designed, and created by the artist applicant
• Works may be 2D or 3D
• Submit your images and other materials online via CaFÉ. Only digital images uploaded to CaFÉ will be accepted and reviewed. Physical submissions delivered to the Art Museum will not be reviewed.
• Work needs to arrive at the gallery ready to hang but framing is not required. Magnets, clips, and other methods can be used.
• Artwork may not be larger than 40 inches on the longest side.
• The artist must provide return prepaid postage or pre-paid return shipping label for work and packaging or arrange for drop off and pick-up
• Submitted work must be available for the duration of the exhibition
• Submitted images must be the same as the works intended for the exhibition. Unfinished or “like” work will not be considered. Work that has been modified from the original image submitted will not be accepted. Do not include borders or backgrounds in images as this only reduces the size of your artwork for viewing by jurors.

Eligibility Criteria

All artists are encouraged to apply. New Bedford Art Museum values the arts as a universal language and recognizes it is crucial to be an organization that integrates equity, diversity, inclusion, and access into everything we do.

All submissions should relate to the theme of Hybrid Art in either material, process, or concept.
