About crafthaus Exhibitions:
All shows are member-curated with images chosen from members' artwork and work by artists outside of crafthaus!
Crafthaus is a democratic forum: EVERY crafthauser regardless of location, academic or media background is invited to submit short proposals and ideas at any time. We like "unusual" exhibition ideas. A lot! Work shown can be from fellow crafthaus artists but we also welcome exhibits that broaden the scope and include artists outside of the community.
Members will curate their online shows and are solely responsible for their exhibitions from beginning to end. Of course, technical assistance is always available, but crafthaus does not interfere in curatorial decisions.
A typical exhibition contains about 20+ images. If a show has an "open call" (see listings below) all members are invited and encouraged to contact the curators and submit images via email for the exhibitions posted.
NOTE: There will be absolutely no fee collected from submitting members, and no renumeration will be paid to the curators either ! This is an effort to give all members a chance to do something just for the fun of it, be a curator and select work, or have work shown without regard to the usual hassles and cost of shipping, insurance, storage considerations, and so on.
Exhibitions will stay on crafthaus even after the official exhibition time has passed. Curators and artists are encouraged to add their participation into their bios, with a direct link to the respective page. Because crafthaus grows and work gets added to the site daily, some curators choose to continually evolve their exhibitions even after the official time has passed, therefore taking another look at past exhibitions might reveal new pieces.

I'd been wondering about the B&W exhibit myself! Thanks for the update!

The b/w exhibition is still in the running, I received many entries. However, a lot of crafthausers also have had great ideas for exhibitions and their exhibitions have priority. Currently, the member curated monthly online exhibitions are scheduled through the Summer of 2013! It's a full schedule.
If you still want to send in images for consideration, pls do. [crafthauseditor at live dot com]

Hi All,
What happened to the "Black & White" exhibition?
I remember sending pics a long time ago...

The good news was Portrait of the Artist as Marie Antoinette won Award of Distinction and $250. That will just about cover the packing and shipping to and from.
Don't get me wrong. I am very pleased and grateful to have won, but as the costs rise, entering becomes a consideration.

You are so right Alice! That reminds me to add to my yearly expenses entry fees. Let's hope your entry is accepted and that you jewelry sells

Dear Brigitte,
I appreciate that you have created the criteria for online exhibitions.
Recently, I entered my work in an exhibition; the entry fee was $35.
The two delicate sculptures which were accepted, had to be specially wrapped, double boxed, then shipped via UPS, which cost $100. They will undoubtedly be sent back to me. Hopefully, the gallery will re wrap them in the original supplied bubble wrap and boxes. Even then, it will be another $45.
In order to pay a 50% commission to the gallery, should the work actually sell, I doubled the price.
As these expenses rise, it gets to be a more and more difficult decision to enter exhibitions.
Thanks for all you do,
Alice Simpson

SNAG Toronto part 4
I'll leave my Toronto report with a few notes about the conference lectures and presentations. I'd have to say that there certainly was a mosaic of diversity in the 3+ days at the Royal York Hotel. From Damian Skinner's stoic keynote series on the jewelry making/marketing universe in his musical New Zealand accent, through a series of very short "rapid-fire" presentations by a wide variety of artists, to the Professional Development Seminar that lashed the artists and their works to the…See More
