THE JURYING PROCESS

• • Exhibit Jurors do not view, consider or judge any artworks until after the entry deadline (January 17).
  • The method by which all exhibitions are juried at Art Saint Louis is designed to be as absolutely fair as possible. We strictly maintain a blind/anonymous jury process, meaning that at NO time before or during the jurying process are the Jurors shown the names of any entrants. In fact, our jurors often do not see names for selected artists until they arrive at Art Saint Louis to view the final exhibit on Gallery walls, months after the exhibit has been juried.
  • Exhibit Jurors are presented all entrants' artworks in an anonymous ‘blind’ digital image presentation and the only information provided to them pertains to the artwork & includes: artwork title, year, media, dimensions, method of display (wall or pedestal), artist's statement (optional).
  • From the jurying presentation and information provided about the artworks, the jurors make their selections for the final exhibit.
  • Artwork selection decisions are in part based on a set of specific jurying instructions and criteria relating to the specific exhibit as well as established conditions & rules of the ASL Gallery.
  • Art Saint Louis does not censor artwork. We respect artistic freedom & freedom of speech. All imagery, themes and concepts are considered. That said, we discourage imagery that includes hate speech, racism, anti-human rights, or anything that attacks or marginalizes any individual or people groups.
  • We take pride in ensuring that all Art Saint Louis exhibits are juried with open eyes & open minds in the most fair and unbiased manner possible.
  • At no time should an artist-entrant contact the Jurors about your entry or artwork--if this occurs, your work will be removed from consideration.
  • No entries accepted after January 17 entry deadline.
