Pendleton Center for the Arts Exhibit Checklist

Thanks so much for agreeing to exhibit in the East Oregonian Gallery at the Pendleton Center for the Arts. We look forward to a successful exhibition.

Work should arrive at the Center for installation on or before Tuesday of the week of your exhibit opening unless other arrangements have been made with staff. Please note that the Center is closed on Sundays and Mondays. While you may be able to call ahead and arrange for a staff member to meet you there, drop-ins on Mondays are discouraged.

The Artist should email the following materials to director (at) pendletonarts (dot) org no later than 45 days before the Opening Reception for the exhibit:

  • Title of exhibit (Optional)
  • Signed copy of the contract (Keep one copy for your records)
  • List of artworks with title, medium and price (including 30% commission). Items marked “not for sale” must have a price listed for insurance purposes.
  • Two (2) images of artwork that will appear in the exhibit in TIFF or JPEG format at least 6 inches on the long side and 355 dpi.  Detail images may be also included if Artist desires. Please sure that the file extension is .tiff or .jpeg
  • Image of artist at work (optional) at least 300 dpi (for newspaper articles)
  • One to two paragraph Artist’s statement (this is used to write the short blurb on the back of the postcards and posters)
  • Bio, CV and more detailed Artist’s statement. This is used to write a feature article for newspapers and will be available for visitors to the gallery. Please feel free to include any additional information about your materials, tools, process or other pertinent details.
  • If you are shipping work, please include a sketch of suggested layout of artwork on the gallery map if specific placement is important. Please include any installation details we should know. We typically install wall-mounted work on a 56” center unless directed otherwise.
  • Up to 50 names and addresses in an Excel spreadsheet for postcards to be sent by PCA with our bulk mailing. Please label the columns as: First Name, Last Name, Street, City, State, Zip.
