If you have taken or taught a class at the Seattle Artist League in the last year, you are invited to submit up to three artworks to our online show. We can’t promise we’ll show every piece, but we will show at least one artwork per person.
This show is about you as an artist, so you are welcome to submit any of your works that you would like to share. Your artwork submission does not have to be from a class, but it does need to have been made in the last year.
We are open to media, including but not limited to: drawings, paintings, prints, digital artworks, photography, sculpture, etc.
Submission Steps
1. PREREQUISITE. Have you taken an online class with us? Y/N – If yes, then you’re in like Flynn. – If no, then stop right here and take a class so you can join the next show!
2. PHOTOGRAPH. Take a quality photograph of your artwork. This means right side up, no tilt, sharp focus, corners square and cropped to the edge of the artwork, little-or-no glare, no shadows, brightly and evenly lit, no filters). I like to photograph my work outside on a cloudy morning. Need help? Watch this video and try again!
3. RESIZE. If you are tech savvy enough to digitally size your artwork, please size to 800 pixels wide (any height), and 72 resolution. See images below for example of Mac Preview resizing. If you have trouble doing this, don’t worry about it. We’ll take care of it for you!
4. NAME AND TITLE JPG. Save your image as a jpg with your full name and the artwork’s title as the file name. If you have trouble doing this, don’t worry about it. We’ll take care of it for you!
