Sign ups/projects
What are Art House "projects"?
Art House projects are a way to create a community of artists and give anyone a chance to be part of something creative. We hold an exhibition for most projects at our library in Brooklyn, NY. All of our projects are open for sign ups on a first come first serve basis.
Who Should Participate?
Everyone! If you are a professional artist, consider this a unique opportunity to get your work out there and add a show or two to your resume. If you are a first time artist, think of it as a way to inspire you and give you a chance to be in a gallery and see your work on the wall!
How do I participate?
All you need to do is check out our projects and find one that interests you. Then, 2-3 weeks later, you will receive your project packet. It will have contain all of the instructions you need!
So, what do I do now that I signed up?
After we receive your info and submission fee, we will send out your items for the project in the order we received your submission. After you get it, there will be a brief instruction sheet inside. Now get to work! Remember to check out the deadline on the website to make sure you get it to us in time. Please note that international artists may want to consider allowing more time for shipping both ways. Please also keep in mind that we do not ALWAYS send project materials. Make sure you real all the info on the project page to see if we are or not.
I can't make it to the show. How can I see images of the show and other people's work?
For every show, we do our best to take as many pictures as we can and upload them onto our flickr page. We also encourage you to look at all the uploaded images from others in your project. We will do or best to make you feel like you were there. But, please remember to upload pictures of your work to your profile page so everyone else can see what the collective came up with
