Media/ Eligibility

Any artist working in the United States may enter this competition. The Jurors make the final decision on which works are accepted among the entries received by the posted deadline. Artwork Submissions must have been completed within the last 3 years (2014-2016). Entries cannot have been submitted in a prior year. Generally, any artwork utilizing any type of ink or clay, in whole, or in part, is acceptable. Artworks must be original - no giclée prints, reproductions or solely digitally-based prints. We seek entries that have been created by the artist’s hand in some way, shape or form. There are no size restrictions. Past exhibitions have included non-tradional media including installations (both site-specific and not), freestanding and hanging sculptures, and mixed media, as well as the more traditional artforms. All artforms are encouraged for submission.

Fees

A $40 entry and handling fee will be charged. This entitles the artist to three digital image entries. Works that are 3-dimensional may have only one (1) additional detail slide each, to supplement their 3-D entry. Please note that checks are deposited collectively after all entries have been processed. Please make check or money order payable to: Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, with "Ink & Clay 42 Entry Fee" written onto the "Memo" line of your check.

Sales 

All artwork will be considered for sale unless otherwise indicated as NFS (not for sale) on the entry form. A 25% commission on all sales will be retained by the Kellogg University Art Gallery to support programming of future exhibitions. Please price artwork entry accordingly.

The Kellogg Art Gallery is pleased to offer $6,500 in cash awards this year. These include: the James H. Jones Memorial Purchase Award(s), generously sponsored by Mr. Bruce M.

Purchase Prize Eligibility 

To be eligible for purchase prize, artwork CANNOT be marked "Not For Sale"(NFS). This year, monetary purchase awards may range from $1000-$500 (with no less than $500 for any purchase) and will be given in exchange of artwork being added to University's Permanent Collection. If an artwork is priced at more than the possible purchase prize amount ($10001, the artist may wish to select 'NO' on the "Eligible for purchase prize" section of submission form.

Insurance, Liability, and Shipping Requirements

All accepted works, once received, will be insured for the duration of the exhibition. Although due care will be taken in handling of all entries, neither the Kellogg Gallery nor Cal Poly Pomona accepts responsibility for the damage of work submitted to the exhibition which is improperly framed or packaged, or without secure hanging devices or displaying instructions when needed. Out-of-area artists will be responsible for costs of shipment of art to and from the exhibition venue.
