About this Call

Paper is a simple material with deceptively vast possibilities. Despite technological advances, paper remains ubiquitous. Whether making lists, notes, letters, or otherwise sharing written information, paper is an object of everyday life. The simple nature of paper is what holds such potential for artists. Works made with paper may be two or three dimensional. They may be drawings, paintings, origami, papier mache, or any number of combinations of practice. Paper as a material and a subject are welcome, though all works must incorporate actual paper. Please no reproductions or ai generated content.

Submission Guidelines

Mosaic Art Collective and its jury committee reserve the right to decline, remove, or exclude any submitted work from consideration or display at their sole discretion. This includes, but is not limited to, works that:

  • Do not align with the theme, vision, or curatorial direction of the exhibition

  • Do not meet the technical, dimensional, or presentation standards outlined in the submission requirements

  • Are deemed inappropriate for the gallery's venue, audience, or community context

  • Contain content that is considered hateful, discriminatory, harmful, or offensive in nature

  • Do not meet the exhibition's display or installation requirements upon delivery

Submission of work does not guarantee acceptance or exhibition. This does not mean your work isn't "good" or "valued" it just means the gallery didn't feel it fit for any number of reasons. All curatorial decisions are final.

Mosaic Exhibitions Committee reserves the right to not accept a piece of work that isn't prepared to hang on the wall. There is a $5 wiring fee due at the time of drop off if you do not have a method to hang your work. Mosaic recognizes that some art can not have a wire attached to the piece in that event please contact the exhibitions committee to communicate your needs for your piece so that the gallery can be prepared to properly and safely care for your art.

Art work that is not picked up at the end of an exhibition is subject to a $10/day Storage Fee. After a month if artwork is abandoned it becomes property of the gallery and will be processed at the discretion of the gallery. Please take a moment to note the Pick up and Drop off Windows to arrange to do so during those times. Or contact exhibitions@mosaicartcollective.com to arrange for a different time.

Entry Fee Schedule

$10 first entry + $10 each additional

1 entry$10
2 entries$20
3 entries$30

Full Requirements

All work must be ready to hang, with the proper hanging wires. If you are not familiar with wiring your work, please review the proper way to wire with d-rings and picture-hanging wire. This will ensure the longevity of your work and will make it more appealing to potential buyers.
