coupling 9TH ANNUAL JURIED EXHIBITION
entries due October 31 show runs November 23 – December 28
Off the Wall Gallery’s 9th Annual Juried Exhibition, coupling , seeks outstanding artwork that demonstrates the dynamic power of two. Examples include: How human beings come together collaboratively & harmoniously. How nature is illed with dualities & dyads. Why two mechanical structures working in tandem produce greater output. Why some pairings dovetail naturally: bow & arrow, thunder & lightning. ...especially when it comes to food and drink: salt & pepper, gin & tonic. Why other pairings are inseparable though opposite: yin & yang, bass & treble. Why culture intertwines others still: death & taxes, Astaire & Rogers. How civil rights can play a part, such as with the recent DOMA ruling. The jury will accept artists primarily on the quality of the work as presented electronically and its relevance to the theme. Through October 31, 2013, we are accepting submissions in all 48” height + width media — 2D, 3D or multimedia — meeting two size requirements: when framed work must be no larger than 48 inches in combined dimensions (height + width) when framed and 2D work cannot be heavier than 15 pounds.
SIZE LIMIT:
Images must be supplied on disc only, with a list of titles, framed dimensions, media, prices, a statement and an entry fee of $5 per work. No entries of actual work will be accepted.

Size your images properly. Please submit 72 ppi jpegs resampled to 1000 pixels on the longest dimension. And please limit each ile to one megabyte or less. Title your images clearly, with names that make sense and correspond to actual titles.
