About the Call

PUNCH Gallery presents an international juried exhibition taking place December 2011. Located in the Pioneer Square area of downtown Seattle, PUNCH provides an excellent opportunity to gain exposure within the Northwest regional art scene.

More than 400 artists submitted 1,461 entries from all corners of the globe. We were excited by the overwhelming response to our open call, and the work we received was impressive in both its quality and range of diversity.

Awards
Cash award(s) determined by number of entries will be distributed at the juror’s discretion. Our previous juried exhibition presented cash awards totaling $1,300. Several entrants were also offered additional exhibition opportunities curated by PUNCH members.

Sales
PUNCH will retain a 30% commission on all artwork sales. It is not required, however, that accepted works be for sale.

Size Limitation
Work must be able to fit through our front door (81”x40”).

Insurance
Every precaution will be taken to assure that your work is handled with utmost care and respect during installation and throughout the run of the exhibition. However, it is the artist's responsibility to carry insurance for any of their works in the exhibition. PUNCH will not be responsible for damage, theft or loss of any kind.

Shipping and Return
Accepted work must be sent in sturdy, reusable crates or boxes. Artwork will be returned via the same carrier that delivered it, or it may be picked up at PUNCH Gallery with prior arrangement. Work will be insured for return only if the owner requests and pays for this. A post-dated check or money order (postdated for December 31, 2011) should be included with the work when it arrives and be written for the amount covering return costs. In the event that the work is sold, the check or money order will be returned to the artist.
