Kentuckians are invited to submit artwork for consideration in the Team Kentucky Gallery that highlights state talent with a rotating exhibit in the main hall of the Capitol in Frankfort.
Works will be considered for an exhibit that will be up from July 1 to Dec. 31.
In a press release, Gov. Andy Beshear and first lady Britainy Beshear said there is no better place than the Capitol “to highlight Kentuckians’ voices as represented through art.”
The deadline to submit art for consideration is June 2. Photos of artwork should be submitted using the application on the gallery’s website. Works will be selected by the second week of June, and artists will be notified shortly after that.
Submission requirements include:
- Artists may submit one original artwork for consideration.
- Artworks must be a minimum size of 18-by-20 inches, including frame, and cannot exceed 48 inches in width. The maximum allowable depth is 4 inches, and the maximum weight is 25 pounds.
- Artworks should be framed if practicable.
- Artworks can be landscape, portrait or abstract.
- The following information should be included with submission: artist name; address, including city and county; phone number; email; title of artwork; and artwork size, including frame. Artists can also include the URL if they have a website displaying their art.
- Artists also can note whether the artwork is for sale. Artworks will not be sold as part of the Team Kentucky Gallery, but interested buyers will be able to contact artists for information about a sale once the artwork is returned.
