We love looking at new art and review work from dozens of prospective artists each month. If you think you might be interested in submitting your work for review, we recommend you spend some time looking through this site to get a sense of the type of work we carry and the prices we set. Here is some other important information to keep in mind while deciding whether to submit your slides: Lucas Gallery is a privately owned, commercial gallery that shows the work of a wide array of artists. We are committed to showing original, high quality fine art that our customers can enjoy at affordable prices.

Lucas Gallery receives a 50% commission for all sold. Lucas Gallery specializes in paintings, sculpture and jewelry. We do not exhibit prints, photography, digital images, or video installations.

 

Artist Submissions

If you decide to submit your work, here is the procedure: Submit 12-20 images of available work either by slide or photograph. Please be sure that each image is labeled with your name and the details of the work. Bear in mind, that while we recognize that photography can never capture the true essence of a piece of art, first impressions speak loudly and are hard to shake. So please be sure that you present your work in the best possible light. (If we accept your work for display at Lucas Gallery, you will need to provide a professional quality slide for each work we consign.) Include a resume, cover letter, and statement about your art. Please provide a SASE for the return of your materials. Electronic portfolios or Web site links can be e-mailed to lg@greenclip.net. Please do not include more than 2 images per email. Work is assessed for its quality, originality, and potential to enhance the collection exhibited by Lucas Gallery.

Our artists vary widely in terms of their age, education and experience. Some have MFA degrees, others are self-taught. We represent artists who have national and international renown and are included in museum collections as well as artists that are showing in a gallery for the very first time.  The review process takes 6 to 8 weeks. If your work is selected for further review, we will contact you to make arrangements to see the originals.  All of our works are on consignment from the artist. We have short-term, renewable, non-exclusive contracts with many of our artists. Though our contracts are not exclusive, we do request right-of-first-refusal from our artists, so that we can offer our customers what we believe to be the artist's best work. If you have additional questions about portfolio review, please call 970 728 1345 and we will be happy to assist you.
