Who is eligible?
New England artists only. You must not have had a solo exhibition in a commercial gallery anywhere, even if years ago. A commercial gallery is a space devoted soley to selling art. (Group shows, university galleries, libraries, bookstores, cafes, community centers, etc., do not disqualify.)
Is New York considered part of New England?
No, New York is part of the Mid-Atlantic states. The six New England states are Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Do I need to be currently living in New England?
Your primary residence needs to be in New England between the application deadline and January 31 - the end of the exhibition.
What expenses are paid for the winners?

What kind of work should the submitted images represent?
Ideally, the online jpgs are from one recent, coherent body of work, which represents the exhibition you would show in January if selected. (They should also reflect the work you would bring in as a finalist.) For the exhibitions, the winning artists pick their own artwork from this body, and all work must be for sale.
