JUROR | ARLETTE KAYAFAS

The Curated Fridge welcomes Arlette Kayafas as its latest RefrigeCurator. Arlette opened Gallery Kayafas in 2002 in Boston’s historic South End. Her interest in art and artists has always been a focus of her curiosity and effort. She believes that as the owner of a gallery she has a responsibility to the artist, the client, the neighborhood, and her colleagues to exhibit only the best works. The gallery has a focus on the emerging artists and pairs such artists with established and well known photographers (www.gallerykayafas.com)

Fees

FREE!

Eligibility

The Call for Entrée is open to all photographers world wide, both amateur and professional. All mediums are invited.

Requirements

You can submit 3 to 6 images. As usual, the submission is FREE!
* Submitted prints should not be bigger than 5x7” or 6x6".
* Try to avoid type if sending promo cards.
* If you send original artwork, please sign it on the back and specifically mention that it's for The Curated Fridge. All the original artwork will be saved after each Fridge Show. No artwork will be returned. There are already ideas for curating an actual installation show with all the artwork. By sending original artwork, you agree to all the above.
* Accepted images will be posted on The Curated Fridge website and social media.

- Mail your artwork to:
Yorgos Efthymiadis
77 Oak Street
Somerville, MA 02143

- Additionally, email the jpgs of the submitted files to: thecuratedfridge_at_gmail_dot_com
* Image specifications: 1280 on the longest side, 72 ppi, sRGB, .jpg
* Name your jpgs like this: Mary_Jones_1, Mary_Jones_2 etc...
* Please, do not send .zip files
* Finally, include a link to your website (if any).

Again, you have to mail your prints and email the jpgs. The curators will be judging your images by printing quality and will be installing the show on the fridge. The jpgs will be used for promoting your work on the website and social media.

If printing is not your selling point or you think that your prints won't make it on time because you live outside the U.S., you can use a printing company (Shutterfly, Mpix etc). They are very cheap, fast and reliable.

Awards

One selected artist, chosen by gallery owner and collector, Arlette Kayafas, will exhibit three of their submitted photographs in the back room of Gallery Kayafas in Boston during the whole run of the Summer Fridge Show (June/August)
Just to clarify, The Curated Fridge Summer Show will run as usual and the applicants will have to submit three to six prints for consideration. One of the participating artists will be selected as the big winner and will be contacted to submit high resolution files (We will take care of printing, as long as the winner is not local). And all of this for free! How cool is that?
