THE EXHIBITION: As part of our ongoing commitment to promote the visual arts, Ellington-White Contemporary Gallery (EWCG) in collaboration with Fayetteville State University (FSU), invites current and former Visual Art Education Professionals to submit entries for this national juried exhibition to showcase the arts as an essential part of a complete education, no matter if it happens in the home, school, or community. National studies show that students of all ages—from kindergarten to college to creative aging programs—benefit from artistic exposure, learning, innovative thinking, and creativity. Celebrating Arts in Education with this national virtual event is a way to recognize and promote the impact of visual arts and share the message that “the Arts matter.”
 

A fourteen-week on-line juried exhibition. This is an ONLINE ONLY exhibition. It will open on Monday, September 16th, and run through Saturday, December 21st, 2024. So, there will be no need to ship your work(s) to us. We will promote it as if it was an on-site exhibition. The exhibition jurors will select works to be exhibited. Media PR, listings, and other exhibition information will include the educational institution or school system of all the exhibiting artists. Each exhibiting artist will receive an online packet of all exhibition materials for their files.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Artists may submit a maximum of three original works of art that have been completed within the last three years and have not been exhibited before in Cumberland County or any of our virtual exhibitions. 

 

Our gallery accepts and displays your artwork at the price you have set in your CaFE account. You, the artist, are entitled to 100% of the profits from the sale of said artwork, under the agreement that the artist will work directly with the buyer to negotiate payment/framing/shipping/etc. We will not sell your artwork directly through our website; we will direct buyers to you via email or your website which we will post in the online gallery.

​

All artists retain the right of ownership over their work and can display and promote it at their own discretion. We simply ask if your artwork sells elsewhere to let us know so we can mark the work as SOLD for our online audience.
