The 63rd Exhibition of Central New York Artists will feature new work in any medium. For time arts, artists will submit a DVD that includes a segment totaling no more than 10 minutes in case the juror decides to view only a portion of a longer work. For performance or installation, artists will submit a one-page proposal and supplementary visual material.

For other media, artists will submit five images on a CD: jpeg 72 dpi, image size no larger than 800 x 800 pixels or 4" x 4". We will be requesting larger files for publications. All images should be clearly identified and correspond to the checklist. All work submitted for consideration should be available for exhibition. The juror will choose work for the exhibition from these materials. A short biography, artist’s statement (if you have one), and résumé noting the artist’s exhibition history and the location of work in public or private collections should accompany the visual materials in hard copy and on CD. Artists who are selected to participate in the 63rd Exhibition of Central New York Artists will be contacted by the Museum regarding the choice of specific work(s) for the show.

More than one piece may be chosen. Artists whose work is not selected for the exhibition will be notified by mail.
