SUBMIT YOUR WORK!

If you encounter any issues with this form or any other part of the submission process, please don’t hesitate to contact me!
Eligibility:
Artists working anywhere in the world, at any stage of their career are invited to apply. Work must be able to be shipped to the exhibition.
Criteria:
Work is selected based on its originality and how well it complements other work in the open call, therefore each Young Space open call is distinct. It is recommended that work is dated no earlier than 2017. Take a peek at the @yngspc Instagram or Artists page to get an idea of the general aesthetic. If selected, you may be asked for additional information, or to participate in an interview for further promotional purposes. This is a physical exhibition; if you are looking for one of the yngspc online exhibition opportunities, keep an eye on the Opportunities page.
Submission Fee:
Submission fee is USD$25 per artist, regardless of the number or type of works submitted, limit 5. Online entry only (credit/debit card via PayPal). All proceeds are directly used for Young Space operating, admin, and advertising costs for this and other projects in order to further the mission of promoting and supporting artists, artwork, and ideas.
Specifications + Requirements:
- Artists may submit up to five (5) distinct pieces of work for consideration.
- Only completed artworks will be considered.
- Works may be NFS. If work is for sale, Young Space will handle all sales and related communication.
- Young Space asks for a 35% commission total on any sales. Please factor in this amount when determining your prices.
- The cost of shipping artwork within/to the United States is the responsibility of the artist, along with any insurance. Please take this into consideration when submitting works that may cost more to ship due to size or weight. Kate is responsible for caring for, storing, installing, and, in the case of a sale, shipping the artwork to a buyer. In some cases she may transport work from the Midwest to New York and back again. In the case that an artwork does not sell, return shipping is also the responsibility of the artist. The artist is not responsible for shipping if the artwork sells during the exhibition.
