DO NOT EMAIL IMAGES, PLEASE. ONLY SUBMISSIONS THROUGH THE PORTAL WILL BE REVIEWED.

Abstract expressionism, video or digital art, photography, prints, or conceptual installations will not be accepted. Not to say we don’t enjoy this type of art but it’s just not our thing.”

Guidelines

Size restriction: All artworks need to be 12 x 12 inches (including frame size) will be accepted. We strongly suggest using 12 x 12” pre-stretched canvas or panel to eliminate the need for framing. 3D work must be 12″ or smaller in its longest direction.

Shipping: Artists outside of Los Angeles are responsible for the cost of shipping their work to and from the gallery, including all taxes and duties for international artists.

Framing: Artwork does not have to be framed, but if it is, we encourage you not to use glass, please. Plexi is fine.

New Work Only: Artwork submitted must be made within this last calendar year (2023-2024).

Do not submit work that is for sale elsewhere.

All artwork must arrive ready to hang. If work arrives without hanging hardware, it will be returned and not exhibited.
Ready to hang means fully cured paint, wires with d-rings that can be hung on a 1″ long hook/nail without showing through the front.

Accepted Artwork: If artwork is accepted, adjustments are not possible.

Acceptance: Accepted artists will be notified After May 15th, 2024 and before May 30th, 2024.

Right of Sale: La Luz de Jesus Gallery will have the exclusive right of sale for exhibited artwork for 30 days after the exhibition’s close.
