FAQ
Why $36?
This price aims to provide amazing local art at an accessible price while also supporting ShoreLake Arts. Also: 6 x 6 = $36!
Where does the money go?
Proceeds go to providing critical funding for ShoreLake Arts, a local non-profit dedicated to cultivating creativity and inspiring our community through the arts.
May I submit photos to 6X6NW?
Yes! Photographs are a great addition to this show. You will need to print your own photographs-. Photos should be mounted on a non flexible 6x6 surface.
May I submit work enhanced with AI or created using computer generated technology?
Yes. Exciting things are happening with the use of AI and other computer-generating technology. However, all works must be original to the artist and not copies of someone else's creations. Works using copyrighted materials will not be accepted.
Will I receive a commission for my work?
Artists will receive 40% of their item's sales, same as last year. New this year, because this event does raise critical funding for ShoreLake Arts, any artist donating their art and proceeds to ShoreLake Arts will receive a special thank you with their name included in our enewsletter, social media post, and our website.
Do I need to be a professional to enter?
Registration and participation is open to all — no art background required. We have a mixture of youth, amateur, up and coming, and professional artists and photographers participate in these events.
May I enter a different size for 6X6NW?
No, the size must be 6" x 6" (and no more than 6" deep).
How many items may I enter?
You may enter as many art pieces as you wish. The submission fee is $6 for every 10 pieces of artwork submitted. One registration form per 10 art pieces submitted. Series are welcomed and encouraged!
What happens if my items don't sell?
First off, it is our hope that every art goer finds new artwork and your 6x6 artwork finds its new art home. Our community has talent!
However, in the event there are remaining 6X6NW art pieces, unsold items can be picked up from the ShoreLake Art office between the dates listed below. Any art remaining after the last pickup date is considered a donation to ShoreLake Arts and may be used in future years.
