Nationwide Call for WINE BOTTLE LABEL ART

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Wine Bottle Label Original Art

Five Deuces Galleria proudly presents a unique opportunity for you to LAND YOUR ART ON A NATIONALLY DISTRIBUTED WINE BOTTLE.  Our call for submissions is open nationwide to all themes, ideas, styles and genres.  Original paintings, digital art, photography, and beyond are all welcome.  

Angels Share Wine Imports will select up to 5 art works for their labels. This family owned local wine distributor is using Lake County and Napa Valley grapes to create and distribute a new brand of red wines in several varieties: cabernet, zinfandel, merlot, petit syrah, and a red blend.  This wine will be distributed to restaurants and retail in Florida, New York, New Jersey, and the US Virgin Islands.   The wine retails for roughly $25/ bottle,and the reserve retails for roughly $70

AWARD

• The artist for each selected label will receive $200

• Two cases (24 bottles) of wine with their artwork on the label

• The opportunity to have their artwork and their direct contact information (most likely a social media handle) on the wine bottle label

• Marketing and promotion of the artist on the wine distributors website, including an artist bio

ELIGIBILITY:  

• Open nationwide (US only) to all mediums of original art

• Submitted art needs to be oriented for a wine bottle, and therefore should be more vertical than horizontal.

• Artists of selected work must be able to provide a high quality image of their work upon acceptance.

• Artists must be willing to hand sign a selection of the wine bottles

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Sunday, May 21, 2023 11:59pm

We are using CloudFolios to assist in curating the show.  If you don’t already have an account, you can set one up (free) during the submission process.  

SUBMIT YOUR WORK HERE: SUBMIT YOUR WORK.  Please note, the images you submit with your work are 1) the primary tool the curators use to evaluate, accept, or reject a piece and 2) the same images the marketing team will use in promotional materials for accepted work.  While the images do not have to be perfect by a hired professional, unsatisfactory images will affect the curating.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

What is Cloudfolios? 

Cloudfolios is a platform we use to publish our art calls. Artists submitting their work for consideration will be doing so through the Cloudfolios system. 

How and when will I know if I've been accepted?

Every artist who submitted their work for consideration will be notified by email. Once the work is finalized, an email is sent to the artists automatically by the Cloudfolios system (the same system the artist used to submit). This email will let the artists know which works were accepted and which works were rejected. If you do not receive an email within a couple of days, please double check your spam folder.

What happens and or what do I do after I am accepted? 

Accepted artists can expect a follow-up email directly from the gallery congratulating them on their acceptance as well as very detailed instructions with their exhibiting details. 

How and when do I submit my biography and conceptual statements? 

Artists will be given detailed instructions through their exhibiting details on how to submit their statements. This requirement only applies to artists who are accepted.

Why is installation, audio, and video art not allowed?

We apologize for this exclusion. Our gallery at this time is not equipped to exhibit these particular mediums of art. We hope to change this in the future. 

If I submitted my work and I forgot to include other work, can my submission/application be reopened and can I add it?

Yes, you may. Please email us at: FiveDeucesGalleria@gmail.com 

If my work was entirely rejected, can I inquire to know why?

Yes, you may. Please email us at: FiveDeucesGalleria@gmail.com
