The gallery has nine (9) portrait-orientated display frames that are approx. 8' by 5'. Each frame is wrapped in digitally printed vinyl with one (1) piece of art. All art mediums are considered as long as they are suitable for reproduction in a 2-dimensional high-resolution image that can be printed on vinyl.

Only one artist or arts collective will be selected for all nine (9) pieces. Artwork can be created specifically for this call or be previous work that fits the requirements.
