Join TEAL
Our next jury cycle will be spring 2025. You will receive an email inviting you to submit an application at the end of February. If you’re interested in jurying into TEAL, use the form on this page to let us know.
To be a member of TEAL, artists must be residents of the Willamette Valley in close enough proximity to our gallery to be able to work store shifts—an approximate 50-mile radius around Corvallis.
Our goal is to keep a balance of media in the gallery and to have enough members to fill a niche in the group. Each member is required to serve on a committee, attend annual meetings and work in the gallery during the 2-month selling season, no exceptions.
Jury Process
Applicants are asked to submit an artist’s statement and a bio, and at least 5 jpeg images representing the entire body of work they wish to sell at TEAL.
The image files need to be clearly labeled with a name and medium. At least one image should show how artwork would be displayed in the gallery. That can be a booth or store display photo. The images should demonstrate the artist's individuality, imagination and skill with the chosen medium.
Objects made from kits, molds or commercial plans are not accepted. All artwork must be created and manufactured by the artist. Only the style and type of artwork that is accepted by the jury can be displayed.
