Information for Artists
We encourage artists of all levels to present your work for consideration in a show that fits your theme or medium. We are adamant that all work be presented with a professional look: clean, in good condition, and ready for hanging or displaying on a pedestal. Wall art must have wire on the back for our hook-and-cable hanging system. Need help? We will be happy to instruct you on the proper method of installing wire.
We hang about 11 major shows per year, only two of which are by invitation only — our annual Plein Air Invitational and the Expressions in the Abstract exhibition. We have several shows held in conjunction with some of our major shows. These shows are hung in the North Gallery and are by invitation only. For the other shows, we welcome entries from all artists. Send your information and images of your work to gallery@borregoartinstitute.org. If accepted, we will email you an entry form. If you show with us regularly, then you only need to let us know you are entering and the size of your work.
Members of the Borrego Art Institute are not charged an entry fee. Non-members will pay a nominal fee for their entry.
Consider a membership, it has many benefits!
