LARGE PRINTS UPLOAD (Large wall filling prints; STAR pays for printing)
https://www.dropbox.com/request/A7Ah928OWnPDavfmBJZi
These will likely be printed on vinyl to keep the cost low.
• Square format is ideal, but large verticals or horizontals are also fine.
• Please upload the largest file you have.
• The image quality needs to hold up at large size, but do not worry about upsampling unless you are a pro and want to control it. I will handle upscaling as needed.
DEADLINE to upload SMALL prints: Friday, Feb 6
Small prints (3:4 ratio, iPhone format, STAR pays for printing)
SMALL PRINTS UPLOAD
https://www.dropbox.com/request/36QMJpa9cCdLBv3HD8Xy
• You may submit up to 4 images (vertical or horizontal).
• Depending on what we receive, I will decide final size and quantity to print (roughly 9 x 12 up to 12 x 16).
• These will be printed on aluminum.
Both small and large prints must also be entered in this form, so I can upload to online site and make labels for the gallery”

Selling and profit sharing
All art will be uploaded to our Auctria auction platform.
STAR printed images: all will be auctioned.
If a piece does not sell, it will go to the artist who owns the image (or you can donate it to STAR if you do not want it).
Artists receive 75% of the sales price, after deducting print cost (print cost goes back to STAR). I will keep print costs low.
Artist provided work (not printed by STAR): also goes on Auctria.
You can choose either a fixed sales price or a minimum bid.
Additional sizes or media: If customers want a different size or print medium, STAR will refer them to the individual artist.
The artist keeps 100% of those proceeds.
We can post a sign with contact info for artists who want to offer this, via a later form.
ARTIST submitted work (you print or provide)
• Anything you want to print or display is welcome, subject to space.
• I expect we can accommodate up to 3 pieces per artist. Possibly more - ask me.
• Physical pieces due in the gallery by: Friday, Feb 13 (a couple exceptions may be possible).
FORM for ARTIST PRINTED ART - deadline Friday, Feb 13
Image uploads and info for complete artwork/photo you are entering. You may provide multiple images per artwork to show frame, detail.
