Bridges Juried Exhibition Program

Artist Portfolio

Eligible applicants are required to submit a portfolio of 5 images. Images can originate in any format but must be submitted digitally through SlideRoom.

Each application must include a caption sheet for images submitted that includes:

• Image Title
• Dimensions
• Medium
• Date
• A concise description of work, limited to 260 characters maximum. This will be visible to the jurors alongside the applicant's image portfolio.

Artist Statement

Applicants are also required to submit an artist statement that explains the images, process, and intentions as related to the works shown. Artist statements should be 500 words maximum, and must be formatted as Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx) or PDF (.pdf)documents.

Please be sure that the default address on your SlideRoom account is the address where you receive mail, in order to receive important updates about the exhibition. Artists selected for the exhibition will be notified on September 5th, 2019. 

Supplemental application materials will be required of those artists, and notification of the winner of the full-tuition scholarship will occur the evening of the opening, September 24th, 4:30 - 6:30 pm.
