Call for Artists "Level Up"
About the Exhibition:
We invite artists from Clackamas County to explore the idea of the phrase "Level Up" through their artistic lens. In a world where progress and growth are constant, we challenge artists to interpret what "leveling up" means to them. Whether it's personal development, technological advancement, classic tabletop games, or a journey through the fantastical realms of video games, we encourage artists to submit works that embody the spirit of progression and transformation.

Artwork Sales:
Sales of exhibited artworks are permitted and encouraged. Although increased public exposure of artwork can and sometimes does result in sales, art sales can neither be guaranteed nor assumed to be an outcome of any exhibit.
All sales inquiries will be referred directly to the artist, who is responsible for any and all sales agreements. Artists retain 100% of sales revenues generated during and after the exhibition;
While no fee is collected by the library for the purchase of artwork, the library does recommend making a donation to the Friends of Sandy Library. The Friends of Sandy Library support library services with donations of cash, books, DVDs, CDs, computers, furniture and hours of volunteer work doing whatever is needed.
The Sandy Public Library does not collect jury or exhibit fees. Participation in the Library Exhibit Program is absolutely FREE.
All sold artworks must remain on display for the full duration of an exhibit.
Insurance:
Artists are responsible for insuring or self-insuring exhibited artwork. While library staff will exert all reasonable efforts to protect artwork from theft, vandalism or other harm, exhibiting Artists agree to assume liability for artwork installed in the library.
