THE FOURTH ANNUAL ART OF DARKNESS
October 8th– November 16, 2022
Gallery Opening Thursday, October 27th from 6-9 PM
 

CALL FOR ARTISTS:

It's baaaccccckkk! 

 

After a strange couple of years grappling with a global pandemic, this show has endured and we're excited to come back in full force in 2022!

​

This is our most popular (and FUN!) show we do all year - we hope to see many returning artists and new talent alike. Last year our show represented scary good artists from all over New England. We can't wait to see what you have in store for us this Fall!

​

Subject matter can range from traditional Halloween imagery to artwork that explores the darker side of the human psyche. Work can be a serious take on the theme, or more on the whimsical side. 2D and 3D media accepted.

Submission fees: $35 for up to 3 Entries

By submitting this form you have agreed to the following terms and conditions:
The artist affirms that all works of art submitted are original. All artworks must be for sale. No NFS items will be accepted. Do not submit artwork that may not be available after acceptance. Submission fees are not refundable in the event you do not have work accepted in a juried show. The artist determines the price agreed upon at drop-off and understands that HeARTspot LLC will take a 50% commission from the selling price. Works of art must remain on display for the length of the exhibition. The artist gives permission for work to be photographed and used for promotional purposes. All care will be taken to ensure the safety and security of work, but the artist understands that the policy for HeARTspot LLC only covers costs of materials used to create work. The director will determine the sustainability/suitability of the art, framing/support structure and if determined unsafe/unstable, work will not be hung in the show despite acceptance and returned to the artist. Works of art picked up after deadline will accrue a $10/week fee starting the day after pick-up (not pro-rated) which must be rendered to HeARTspot LLC prior to having late work returned.
