| Q Does Projekt30 charge a commission on artworks sold through the
juried exhibition? |
A No. You made the work, you keep the money.
We have neither the infrastructure nor the desire to attempt to enforce a commission structure.
It also wouldn't make much sense as our primary goal is to connect you to
an organization that specializes in brokering your work, and probably will wish to collect a commission for doing so.
|
| Q What is a "Publicly Juried Exhibition"? |
A All entries are posted online for two weeks.
Visitors to Projekt30 submit feedback as to which artists should be included, and can contact artists via email if they wish.
The data collected is turned over to our in-house jurors who make the final selections.
The jurors are not obliged to strictly adhere to the public selections.
|
| Q Who are the in-house jurors? |
A
We use new jurors each exhibition, no two Projekt30 exhibitions are the same. Every artist has an equal opportunity
regardless of past exhibitions.
|
| Q What is the relationship between
the result of the public jury and Projekt30's in-house jurors? |
A
It varies from show to show, depending on the in-house jurors.
Each time we host a publicly juried show, the process begins with the public vote.
Once voting is complete, the server tabulates all the data and displays it for our
in-house jurors (who are physically present for the jurying process). The
set up they use to jury the show is not too different from the one the public uses;
the only difference is that in the square where the 1-5 rating interface appears for
the public, the in-house jurors instead see the artist's average rating and rank
(for example: 27 of 123). Those artists that rank within the top 30 are highlighted.
The jurors see every artwork by every artist, regardless of the rankings.
The jurors then begin to assemble the exhibition, and here is where the process
begins to vary widely. We have never had
a show where the public and the in-house jurors were completely in agreement,
and we have never had a show where the in-house jurors actually agreed with
one another either. It generally takes about 1-2 days of arguing and
bartering (as in: "Fine, you can have that artist, but I want this other
one that you don't like.") before the content of the show is determined.
|
| Q How do I know which work will be accepted? |
A It's not easy to predict. As the jury is always changing, so are the
criteria. Different combinations of jurors create different shows. It's
often a surprise to everyone what makes the cut.
Two factors are always critical:
1. Quality of Representation. The slides or media must clearly and accurately depict the art work.
The representation of the work is the work as far as an online show is concerned, its not enough that the viewer "get the idea".
2. Consistency and Development. Submit examples that communicate the development of a focused, mature body of artwork.
This can vary from artist to artist, but any artist mature enough to consider a professional career will have no problem.
Don't send 5 examples from five different series or bodies of work.
|
| Q I was accepted, can I apply for future exhibits? |
A Yes. We will not exhibit the same pieces twice, send new work.
The mailing list is always growing, later shows get additional exposure.
