Thank you for your submissions!

Hello all,

The new, and final, deadline for submissions was yesterday. Thank you to everyone who submitted work, we will be in touch regarding our curatorial decisions soon.

Submission Deadline Extended.

Hey all,

Today, being the 14th, was the original submission deadline.

However, in line with the event being postponed, the deadline has also been extended.

The new submission deadline is Monday, Nov. 2nd, 11:00pm.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted work already, we've seen some really good stuff and it's going to be difficult deciding what all to include in our exhibitions!

PROOF postponed

PROOF: Arts & Action in the Old 4th Ward, as originally envisioned, has been postponed indefinitely. The organizers of PROOF are instead focusing on a similar, though smaller, event to be titled "Axiom". Axiom is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Nov. 21st.

Please expect all the details on Axiom, including updated submission guidelines soon.

In the meantime interested artists may continue to submit work as outlined below, and to those artists that have already submitted work, thank you! You will be contacted soon regarding possible inclusion in Axiom.

A brief note on the prospective sale of artworks during PROOF.

PROOF's sponsoring organization, Public Acts of Art, is currently seeking 501c non-profit status and as such the organizers of PROOF cannot sell art for profit. Artworks on display may be listed as for sale, only all art sales occurring at PROOF must be direct transactions between the artist(s) and the patron(s), and therefore it is strongly recommended that all artists (or their designated representatives) be in attendance and able to meet prospective patrons.

In lieu of any entry fees or commisions on sales, Artists are encouraged to set aside a portion of returns from any artwork sold as a result of exhibition during PROOF as a charitable donation to Public Acts of Art.
