How to Apply to Standards

The ACG Standards Committee meets twice a year, once in April and once in August. Any ACG member wishing to apply to Standards to become an exhibiting member must complete the following: 

·      $25 nonrefundable application fee paid on this website or sent to the Treasurer

·      Completed Standards application. Download the form on the Members Only page.

Email the following to: adamsnyder@yahoo.com

·      Artist Biography

·      Artist Statement with description of the process of making the pieces

·      Five color images of current pieces showing the artist’s skills and a variety of style (one piece per image)

·      Image Description document including medium, description, and dimensions for each image submitted

·      In addition, if you have an image of your booth at an art show, please include that as a 6th image. 

You may include information on your training/education/experience and what motivates you to create your work. Being self-taught or developing your own techniques are not impediments to your application.

If you apply in more than one medium, you must make a separate application for each. 

Deadline for August 15 Standards Meeting is July 15.

Photo Hints

Backgrounds should be without distractions or wrinkles. If you have trouble with this, please do the best you can to showcase your work without a busy background. Please have only one piece in an image. It would be nice for us to receive the images at 300 dpi (resolution) and the size around 4” x 6” with the longer side around 1920, but this is not a requirement.

Questions

If you have any questions about the process, please contact Standards Chair Adam Snyder at: adamsnyder@yahoo.com
