Frequently Asked Questions

 

If you have additional questions, please email pinckneygallery@cocc.edu 

Submissions

Can I submit incomplete work?

No, please only submit completed work. It’s very difficult for planning to select a piece of work only to find out before the show that it’s not ready.  

 

Do artists get paid a stipend?

Currently no stipend is available. 

Can we sell art?

Yes, you can choose to sell your art and the department will help coordinate the sale. The art is required to remain hanging until the end of the show. For the time being, we don’t charge a fee for coordinating your art sales. 

 

Who is on the selection committee?

Volunteer committee members and the Art & Design Club are chosen for each show by the Art Department Faculty and participating organizations. Rotating the selection committee enables us to keep the selection process more equitable and student- and community-centered. 

 

 Why are you asking me for demographic information?

The demographic information is collected to aggregate and understand who is applying to show at our gallery. Understanding and facilitating equitable practices are an important part of educational institutions so we are striving to use data to help us improve our practices. No personal information is shared or used without your permission. 

 

After Selected

Who is responsible for a press kit/marketing?

The art department creates a press release, a 50-100 5x7 postcards, and 25-50 11x17 posters for distribution. You can re-post images of these assets to promote the show. We love having people visit the gallery so please feel free to share and distribute the information. 

 

 Will the art department handle the deliver of the art or item for display?

It is up to the individual artist to drop off and pick up the items before and after the show from the COCC Art Department. If you have extenuating circumstances, please email pinckneygallery@cocc.edu and they will brainstorm some ideas for you. 

 

When should I deliver and pickup my art?

Please bring your art pieces in ONE WEEK PRIOR before the show start date. Your art will be stored in a locked location.

 

Who installs the art gallery?

The art department handles the installation including all display descriptions. All wall hanging art should come ready to hang or we can discuss how we can accommodate. If the item to be displayed is nonstandard and can’t be easily hung or displayed, we’ll discuss and figure something out. 

 

Is my artwork insured during the gallery show?

Yes, we do insure your artwork while it’s in Pinckney Gallery.
