Juried Invitational Exhibitions.

1. SoJie’s, Solo’s Juried Invitational Exhibitions are held monthly.
2. These special exhibitions mimic juried, invitational, gallery shows.
3. A panel of nominators nominates 60-100 artworks for the shows.

6. Nominators and judges change each month.
7. Judges remain anonymous until the exhibition opens.

The group’s focus is on the selected artist, whether they be an artist selected for Solo Exhibition, an artist whose work is written up for the magazine, Inside Solo, or an artist invited to show at a Juried Invitational Exhibition.

In selecting the artist for any time span, we must and will assume that the works you are submitting here are your best. Submitted works to the Solo Exhibition gallery should be “exhibition class” works, only.

COURTESY to fellow ARTISTS.

1. Especially for artists who are booked for a Solo Exhibition, you are expected to be a leader and support the other artists who Solo.
2. Let’s support each others’ grand moment in the spotlight.

The following subjects are not accepted:

1. Photographed Nudes
2. Individual Flower Photos
3. Images with text overlays
4. Images with a picture frame

6. Pet Photos (rarely)

Complying with this helps maintain “exhibition-class” work in the gallery.

SAFETY FILTER.

3. Works with a main page defaulting to a product shot,

   accepted, regardless of original media.

RE: DIGITAL MANIPULATIONS.
Simple rule of thumb,

1. If the stock provider requires a link back, then so does Solo.
2. Or, state “no stock used” in the description, if so.

1. There are no guarantees of a solo exhibition or any exhibition.

2. But don’t worry, we’ll bubblemail you. Piece of cake. Get excited.
