Artist Submissions

LJL Galleries welcomes submissions from artists who demonstrate:

• A cohesive and resolved body of work
• Professional presentation and artistic practice
• Alignment with the gallery’s curatorial focus

Artists at various stages of their careers may be considered.

Submissions are evaluated using the following general criteria.

• Conceptual clarity and consistency across the work

• High-quality documentation of work
• Accurate and complete artwork details

Professional Readiness

• Exhibition history or professional context where applicable
• Readiness for exhibition or inclusion in gallery programming

Artists who submit their work may be considered for a range of current and developing initiatives connected to LJL Galleries, including:

• Exhibitions and curated presentations at LJL Galleries
• Curated Spaces, placing artwork within professional and hospitality environments
• Rocky Mountain Art Tour (RMAT) regional initiatives
• Special exhibitions and collaborative projects such as Heavy Metal Place
• Future initiatives including digital art displays at participating partner locations

Not all submissions result in immediate engagement; however, submissions allow the gallery to build awareness of artists whose work aligns with its curatorial direction.

Artists should be prepared to submit the following:

• Artist statement
• CV or exhibition history
• High-quality images of recent work
• Medium, dimensions, and pricing information

Links to websites or online portfolios may be included where applicable.

All submissions are reviewed at the discretion of LJL Galleries. Due to the volume of submissions received, the gallery is unable to provide individual feedback.

Only artists selected for further consideration will be contacted.

• Submission does not guarantee exhibition, representation, or sales
• Membership is not required for submission
• All curatorial decisions are final

LJL Galleries values thoughtful, long-term relationships with artists and may consider submissions for exhibitions, curated placements, or future initiatives where appropriate.
