Members’ Gallery Submissions

Yukon Art Society Members in good standing are encouraged to bring in pieces of their work to show and sell in the Members’ Gallery. The displays are rotated on a bi-monthly basis to keep things looking fresh. We also have an online store where members’ work is also available to view and purchase.

All work submitted to the gallery will be juried by staff prior to display, and must meet a few requirements.

Artwork will not be accepted for sale/display at Arts Underground if:

  • The artwork lacks appropriate display hardware.

  • The artwork is not dry or cured

  • The artwork or any associated hardware is damaged.

  • The artwork violates copyright law.

  • The artwork is deemed to be cultural appropriation

  • The artwork is incomplete.

  • The artwork needs to be reworked in order to meet a minimum standard of quality.

  • The artist has many pieces of artwork in inventory and must remove some before submitting new pieces.

2D ORIGINAL ARTWORK
(painting, photography, illustration, printmaking, etc.)

  • Artwork must be ready-to-hang:

  • Paint, adhesive, and other media must be completely cured (dry)

  • Professional hanging hardware must be affixed.

CARDS AND PRINTS


  • Reproduction prints must be mounted on foam core, matboard, or another stiff surface, and either shrink wrapped or packaged in a plastic sleeve.

  • Greeting cards must be packaged for sale with an appropriate-sized envelope in a plastic sleeve or other packaging material. This ensures the cards are protected from damage while on display, and the envelope doesn’t get lost.

  • Arts Underground has a small number of packing materials available for sale here

3D ORIGINAL ARTWORK
(jewellery, textiles, ceramics, sculpture, etc.)

  • When appropriate, work should be packaged to denote a size (eg. clothing, rings)

  • Paint, adhesive, and other media must be completely cured (dry)

  • Staff should be informed whether or not ceramics work is food safe.
