Exhibit Artwork Submission & Printing for Selected Artists

Selected artists have two options for submitting exhibition prints:

​

Option 1: Submit Original Prints

• Praxis accepts original prints that fit one of our four precut matte sizes.

• No framed artwork will be accepted.

• Praxis will mat and frame the prints for exhibition.

• Prints must be shipped with return postage and packaging and labeled with:

  • Artist's name

  • Exhibition title

Option 2: Praxis Printing Service

For convenience, Praxis can print exhibition images for a $37 fee (includes printing, matting, framing, and installation).

• High-resolution files must be uploaded to our secure Dropbox.

• Praxis print technicians have 50+ years of fine art printing experience.

• Images will be printed on a Canon Pro-4000 using Epson Premium Luster Fine Art Photo Paper.

• Praxis provides frames for all exhibitions.

Exhibition Frame & Print Size

Praxis features museum-quality 22x22-inch black frames with four standard precut white mattes.

The following dimensions represent the maximum image area for prints. These sizes fit precisely within our precut mattes, with a 0.5-inch border around the edges to prevent cropping by the matte:

• 11” x 11”

• 10” x 15”

• 11.8” x 15”

• 8” x 15”

• Images must fit within these dimensions. If an image exceeds the maximum size, portions of the image will be cropped by the matte.

• We never crop submitted digital files. Instead, we scale the final high-resolution images for the best presentation.

• Selected photographers will receive detailed instructions on shipping their print or submitting a high-resolution digital file for Praxis to print.

Sales & Archive

• Artists may offer their exhibition prints for sale. Praxis Gallery will notify artists of any purchase inquiries.

• Praxis takes a 50% commission on all sales.

• Selected works will be archived in the Praxis Gallery & Photographic Art Center’s online gallery.

Copyright & Usage Rights

• Artists retain all copyrights to their images.

• By submitting, artists grant Praxis Gallery a non-exclusive right to use their images for:

  • Exhibition display

  • Promotion of the artist and related programs

  • Online exhibition archives

  • Social media and website features

​
