Calling ALL teachers—whether full-time, part-time, after school, weekend, past, or present— we want to fill our walls with your artwork to celebrate your creativity and tirelessness dedication to those you mentor! Share with us and our audiences that which inspires YOU and pushes you forward as an artist and creative thinker. This show is devoted exclusively to SF Bay area teachers and hopes to celebrate the artists who split their time teaching others how to create, while also pushing their own artistic practice forward. Bring us your best work! We want to include as many ART TEACHERS as we can, so please review the submission guidelines so we can share the work of as many of you as reasonably possible. Spread the word and let’s celebrate the work of those that inspire, educate and demonstrate what art can be!

If you would like a donation receipt from our non profit, you can pay here.  Submission fees go directly into our campaign to pay for the space and people necessary tohost these exhibitions. Ability to pay has no bearing acceptance into the show.   

Please note that The Drawing Room will take a 50% commission on sales of work, so please price your work accordingly. Artist commissions are paid 7-10 days following the show ending. 

Submission guidelines:

-Only one submission is allowed per artist, not to exceed 36" x 36”.  Give us your best.

-All 2D works must arrive ready to install on the wall, framed if necessary, with DRings and wire, sawtooth hanger or cleat system. Works not ready to hang will not be accepted due to the short time we have to curate and get the show open to the public. If you need help with this, please reach out directly: renee@drawingroominc.org.  

-Multi-media/Video submissions must be compatible as a mp4 video file. 

-Works will be on display until the exhibition ends, except in special cases when the buyer needs to take the work immediately. Works will reside on our website also and be available for sale up to 30 days after the show ends.
