Note: Check each website for prospectus or application form or send SASE.
 

These opportunities have been selected from several hundred as most appropriate for serious fine artists, traditional or contemporary. We favor things that are free to the entrants, offer good rewards in relation to the fees, increase the exposure of those accepted, or are prestigious or special in some other way.

Unlike other services, we do not knowingly include outright scams, for-profit galleries that charge fees to enter, individuals pretending to be galleries or contests that exist only to take money away from artists.

New listings are in the first part, in sans-serif type. Current listings from previous issues are in the second part, in serif type. Each part is divided into several sections: General, Geographic Limitations, Public Art, etc. To go to any section, use Adobe Reader's bookmarks (Alt+V, N, B for PCs or View > Navigation Panel > Bookmarks for Mac )

These are capsulized versions. When you see something that might be of interest, go to the prospectus (click the link beginning with http://xrl.us/AOM), send an email or #10 SASE for the prospectus or more information.

Searching: To find all entries containing a specific term such as grant, a zip code or a medium (PA for painting, for instance), use Adobe Reader's extended search (Shift+Control+F for PCs or Shift + Apple + F for Macs). For a complete list of codes and abbreviations, please see key box.

New users: please read cover letter and instructions.

Did you know?

AOM has nearly twice as many entries as it did two years ago?

If you had to find the original prospectus for each one of these yourself starting from scratch it would take you more than 140 hours.

We screen out the scams and the commercial galleries that charge entrance fees because they rarely help you or your career and they take money out of the art community.

CONSULTING FOR ARTISTS

     Stuck? Floundering? At a crossroads? Searching for the right audience? Benny Shaboy, the publisher of studioNOTES, is available to look at your work and talk with you  to help you discover the path that's best for you.
    I draw on information and insights gained from years of interviews and interaction with successful and resourceful artists, dealers, curators and collectors as well as my own years as a practicing artist.
    This is a service for serious professional artists, present or future.
    Consult in person, by phone, by mail or email or a combination.  Good references.  For more info: email or write Box 502-B, Benicia CA 94510-0502 or call 707-746-5516.
