Thank you for your interest in submitting a portfolio to LewAllen Contemporary.
Because the gallery receives hundreds of portfolios throughout the year, it is important that artists carefully follow our procedures with regard to submission of materials for gallery review.

Please understand that the gallery’s immediate priority must be serving our customers – those visiting the gallery in person and those who we communicate with long distance. Working with customers on a daily basis, along with all the many other tasks involved in running a gallery, means we unfortunately don’t have the time to review artist portfolios on a walk-in basis.

The gallery reviews portfolios only every four to six months. Accordingly, we ask to see only reproduction materials first. Should we have further interest, we might later ask to see original artwork.

Submission Procedures :
First, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the gallery. If you are in Santa Fe, you should visit the gallery and note the type of work that we carry. If not local, then please refer to our web page at www.lewallencontemporary.com. If, after reviewing the gallery and its work, you feel your work is appropriate for review, then you may submit portfolio materials according to the following procedures.

Please submit the following materials in the formats noted :

• A representative sampling of your current body of work. We prefer to receive digital printouts, printed cards and invitations, or other easily reviewed formats. (Otherwise, if you prefer, you may submit CDs, slides, or transparencies. These will only be returned if you have provided a self-addressed stamped envelope.)
  
• A current resume listing your contact information, education,
  exhibition history, collections, and awards.
  
• An artist statement.
  
• Any other supporting materials (reviews, articles, etc.).
  
• A self-addressed, stamped envelope for the return of your materials.
  (If you do not provide an SASE, your materials will not be returned to you.)
