ABOUT ART
SAINT LOUIS
Located on the ground floor of the historic and beautifully renovated
Park Pacific building at 1223 Pine Street in downtown St. Louis,
Missouri, Art Saint Louis is home to one of the
most popular and frequently visited exhibition spaces in the St. Louis

success in connecting St. Louis regional artists and audiences, our new
2,700 square foot space Gallery boasts a year-round series of

region's contemporary visual art. Highlighting each exhibition, Art
Saint Louis opening receptions are a cultural mainstay in downtown St.
Louis and are followed throughout the run of each exhibit with
extensive viewing hours Monday through Saturday and an average of over

THE
JURYING PROCESS
The method by which ALL exhibitions are juried at Art Saint Louis is
always a fair and blind (anonymous) process. What this means is that at
no time before or during the jurying process do our Jurors know the
names of entering artists. The Jurors are presented all entrants' JPEGs
in an anonymous digital image presentation and the only information
provided to them pertains to the artwork and includes the following:
artwork title, year, media, dimensions, and method of presentation
(displayed on the wall, sits on a pedestal). Jurors are never shown the
names of any artists. All artworks that you submit for jurying are
presented one after the other in the presentation that the jurors view.
So, if you are artist #25, your artworks/entries are in the presentation
after artist #24 and before artist #26. From the jurying presentation
and information provided about the artworks, the jurors make their
selections for the final exhibit. Artwork selection decisions are in
part based on a set of specific jurying instructions & criteria
relating to the theme of the exhibit as well as specific conditions
& rules of the Gallery. For non-thematic exhibitions, a
well-rounded exhibit is based on the Jurors' aesthetics along with
general exhibition criteria established for all exhibits by Art Saint
Louis' Artistic Director. This is a blind process and at no time are
the Jurors shown entrants' names, and oftentimes they do not even see
names for selected artists until they arrive to the Gallery to view the
final exhibit on the Gallery walls. Ours is a fair jurying
process.
SALES & INSURANCE
All artworks must
either have a sale price or be marked Not for Sale (NFS). No works
marked POR (price on request) will be accepted. Artist's sale prices
listed with original entry submitted for jurying may not be changed
after entry deadline (July
31, 2015). All sales are through Art Saint Louis with 30%
donation/commission on work sold to ASL and 70% to artist. Sale price
includes Art Saint Louis' commission. Artist responsible for delivery
of sold work to buyer at end of exhibit. Artworks are insured at 50% of
