Frequently Asked QuestionsWHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR? For those of you who have participated in this exhibition before, we are making a few changes to the process based on your feedback and because this exhibition will be traveling to Maui.
Online registration is open from August 1-15. If you are new to this, give yourself a little extra time to work through any issues. We can’t accept any registrations after midnight on August 15, and unregistered walk-ins will not be accepted at intake. Step 1: Update your membership If you are already a Hawai‘i Craftsmen member, log in to your Hawaiʻi Craftsmen account and check your membership status to make sure you are current through December 2022. If you are not a member then you can either join Hawai‘i Craftsmen to receive the discounted registration price ($25), or register as a guest and pay the non-member price ($75). Step 2: Register your entries online Submit up to six pieces online through our event registration form. You will need your: contact information, artwork titles, artwork dimensions, artwork prices, and 1 image of each piece. Step 3: Bring your registered artwork to intake We jury all work in person (with the exception of Lānaʻi). The intake and jurying schedule is different for each island, so be sure to check the schedule carefully. Step 4. Pick up your artwork All artists must pick up your artwork immediately after the jurying. Step 5. Find out if your work was accepted We will post accepted entries on our website by August 30. Shipping and packing instructions will be provided by email for accepted work. Accepted artwork from the neighbor islands must be shipped to arrive at the DAC no later than September 12 . ARE THE IMAGES USED TO JUDGE THE ARTWORK? No. All artwork is seen in person by our juror (with the exception of Lāna‘i). HOWEVER, we do require 1 representative image of each of your submissions to be uploaded when you register. We do this because of our unique situation where work is juried on different islands. Before the juror begins, we send them a document that has the image of your work, the title, the media description, and your statement. This helps the juror become familiar with your work, and gives them a sense of the submissions from across the entire state. We suggest JPEG or JPG images, under 5MB and at least 1200 pixels or larger on the longest side. Here are a couple of videos that can help you photograph your 3D Art with a smartphone: This video gives a good overview of the process. It references a free app called Snapseed, but most phones have similar editing capabilities built in already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMaUhKJgQv0 And here’s a tutorial that goes into more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G6FHgWLlkI DO I HAVE TO APPLY ONLINE? Yes, although there are many ways to get help with this and we are happy to do it! No shame! Contact your island chairperson. WHAT WILL I NEED TO REGISTER? For each entry you will need its Title, Media, Price, Dimensions and one image. Typically, titles have each word capitalized (My Entry Title), media has the first material capitalized with additional materials separated by commas (Ceramic, gold leaf, steel), price should be in whole dollar amounts ($3,250), and dimensions are given as height x width x depth in inches (13” x 10” x 2”). Please don’t use ALL CAPS unless you intend to shout. You will also need an artist statement of roughly 200 words. This will be shown to the juror, so please do not include identifying information. This typically includes information about your inspiration, intent, or process for the work you are submitting. You will be asked if you are an emerging artist (you have NOT been in a group exhibition with 3 or less people, AND you have been working in your medium less than 5 years), if an entry was created when you were a full time student, if an entry used the Raku ceramic process, and if you collaborated with another artist. These indicate your eligibility for specific awards. We will also ask you to provide the names of any collaborators, as well as any social media accounts you use (so we can help promote your work). CAN I START MY REGISTRATION AND THEN COMPLETE IT LATER? If you are logged in to your account at Hawai’i Craftsmen you can do this as long as you don’t hit submit and pay for your entry. However, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the entry requirements and then complete your registration in one sitting. It’s just less prone to mistakes that way. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? The registration fee for Hawaiʻi Craftsmen members is $25 for the first entry and $10 for each additional entry up to 6. Registration fee for non-members is $75 and $10 for each additional entry up to 6. Hawai‘i Craftsmen Membership fees are: Individual Membership $50, Senior-65 and older $30, Student-full time, proof of status needed $25, Family-one household, 2 individuals $75, Corporate/Business Membership $250, and Individual Lifetime $2,500. CAN I SELL MY WORK? Absolutely! This is a great opportunity to sell your work, and we have scheduled acquisition visits from the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, as well as the Honolulu Museum of Art. Sales are split 60% to the artist and 40% to Hawai‘i Craftsmen. Work will be able to be purchased at the gallery and online. Was your question not answered?
