Prospectus and Call for Entries
Historic Gardens of the World – A Mixed-Media Exhibit
June 6 through August 6, 2017
Presented by the Friends of Filoli Art Committee
Filoli (www.filoli.org) is best known for its sixteen acres of Formal Garden that create a dynamic contrast to the six hundred acres of natural California coastal woodlands. Its beautiful Visitor and Education Center receives approximately 80,000 visitors annually. The exhibit will be held in the Center’s gallery.
EXHIBIT OVERVIEW
Gardens allow one to take a vast landscape and transform plants, ponds, fountains and statuary to create magical places for visitors to enjoy. They evoke feelings of tranquility and awe; they provide a place where visitors feel welcome and fortunate to be able to stay and reflect, interpret and rejuvenate. This exhibit will transport visitors to these inspiring gardens through a beautiful collection of paintings, drawings and 3-dimensional art. Let this exhibit be your encouragement to visit new places like Filoli.

Images should be in Adobe RGB color space, 1920 pixels on the longest side, 72 ppi. Please do not include any personal details including watermarks to allow for "blind" jurying. The first three entries are $30 (total), and $5 each for up to two additional entries. Entry fees are non-refundable and must be paid by the entry deadline. Acceptance is not guaranteed. Enter your images online at: www.OnlineJuriedShows.com. Submitted images must not include matting or frame. Crop the photos to include only your artwork. Be sure your images are right side up.

Please add Services@OnlineJuriedShows.com and Manager@OnlineJuriedShows.com to your safe senders list to ensure notifications are received.
Note: The artist must specify the image size, frame size (if framed), and the selling price or NFS for 2D art at the point of submitting the entries. For 3D entries, the object dimensions and selling price must be specified. The price for “not for sale artwork” is entered as NFS.
The entry deadline is on April 23, 2017. Please note we do not extend deadlines.
JURY PROCEDURE
Because the artwork will be juried using your submitted digital images, it is important that your entries are fully representative of the quality and processes that will be incorporated into the final exhibit article. Criteria for acceptance will include artistic sensibilities and adherence to the exhibit theme, and overall suitability for the exhibit. Selected images may be used for producing the exhibit postcard, for Filoli website, and for other promotional materials.
Selection results will be emailed on May 5, 2017 with detailed instructions for preparing and submitting the selected work to Filoli. The decision of the jury members is final. Artwork submitted may or may not be selected for the exhibit.
SALES
Filoli is pleased to extend the opportunity for participating artists to sell their exhibit piece(s), and other pieces, during the exhibition. All sales will be handled by Filoli and payment will be made to the artists, minus a 30% donation to Filoli, within 6 weeks after the exhibition. Artists may also list their artwork as NFS (not for sale). Detailed instructions will be sent upon acceptance.
