FAQ

Does Jeffersonville Public Art take a percentage of sales from the gallery?

Jeffersonville Art will NOT be taking a percentage on ANY sale in either one of these spaces. BUT ALL SALES must be conducted by the artist (no representative of Jeffersonville Art will not mediate or facilitate sales). ALL artwork must remain through the duration of the show period. Work does NOT have to be for sale in order to be displayed.

Who should I contact with questions or concerns?

Heather Rapp, the Public Art Administrator will serve as the point of contact for both spaces. 502-558-5500, hrapp@cityofjeff.net

Can I submit my work for more than one show/more than one space?

YES! We would love to consider your work for more than one show.

If my work is not accepted for one show, and I don't submit it for another will it be considered?

While we do consider past submissions occasionally, submissions for that show will take priority.

Will Jeffersonville Public Art mediate/facilitate selling my work?

No! All sales from both gallery spaces must be mediated by the artist themself. Strategies such as business cards, qr codes, website addresses are all acceptable methods. All work must remain in place until the end of the run.

Can Submit a proposal for a show I would like to fabricate?

We only accept work for display that is already created and therefore can be juried more consistently. For a theme show, a 1-month notification is given to the artist that their work has been chosen for inclusion, for proposed exhibition artists are given 2 months notification of their selection.

Who is eligible to apply for display?

Artists of all kinds that meet the criteria for the show to which they have applied. Emerging, mid, and late careers artists are welcome. Artists under the age of 18, must have a parent/gaurdian sign and agree to the display.

For the theme shows, I only have 1 piece that fits the theme, can I submit it for consideration for a group show?

YES!! For the theme shows we are happy to curate a group of artists to display along that theme.
