We are now taking submissions for our 2011 Registry. The registry is an on-line database that will be viewed by corporate clients, collectors, gallery owners and curators. To meet the varied needs of our clients, our artist registry includes artists working in a wide range of styles and media including painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, mixed media, sculpture and installation arts. Submitted work will be evaluated based on its quality and value within our existing registry.

During this first annual open call, we will be accepting 100 Bay Area based artists into the registry. If selected your work will remain in the database for one year and will be seen by hundreds of arts professionals in the Bay Area and beyond!

The submission fee is $30 (non-refundable)
