Requirements
- Work to be exhibited must be no larger than 20x24" framed.
- The selected exhibiting artists must deliver the selected work to the gallery,
framed & READY TO HANG (with wire, hooks or whatever makes it easy
to place it on the wall), and be promptly picked up the work once the show
is over (or arrange for shipping).
- Drop-off will be at Umbrella
Arts gallery on Sunday, February 28 and Monday, March 1st (details will
be emailed to the exhibiting artists). The gallery commission is 25% of
sales.
- Important note: En Foco/Curator reserves the right to turn
away work that is not an equal representation of the image chosen,
is of poor quality, or is not ready to hang. This exhibit is being
created as a way to thank our members for their support, and of course
we want to share your most spectacular work with the world. Please do
email if you have any questions.

Good to Know
- Exhibiting artists will receive an article on En
Foco's blog, a photographer's page on www.enfoco.org, and a
Professional Photographer Membership extension (of same value as
current membership). We will of course promote it too! There is also a
possibility of an exhibition catalog by Blurb.com (in which case hi-res
jpgs will be requested).
- We will confirm the date of the fabulous Artist's Reception soon (to take place mid-March).
- Keep in mind that En Foco
membership levels of $100 and above offer discounts at labs/printers, should your work be
selected and you need something printed quick. Our friends at Modernage and
Loupe Digital can do a fairly quick turnaround.
- Why now, and so quickly? Our
members have been asking for En Foco to host a "Members Exhibition" for
quite some time... so when Umbrella Arts offered the space, we were
happy to oblige! This exhibition is our way of thanking our members for their support.
