Open to all active Members of VPS.

By submitting your work, you are agreeing to the terms established by Long
River Gallery for exhibitions.

You have until July 17, 2023 to submit your artwork images. Once received, the pastel images submitted will be reviewed by two jurors who will select up to a total of 25-30 paintings, the number able to be hung in the venue this year.

Work may be for sale; NFS is allowed.

The gallery collects a 45% commission from all sold works. Members are allowed to submit NFS work, but you are highly encouraged to have your work for sale.

Long River Gallery will create a press release to be distributed to local media outlets. Please share information about the JS on your social media. Hard-copy postcard invitations can be created at the exhibitors’ request and expense.

We encourage artists' participation by attending the JS opening reception. The reception will coincide with White River Junction’s October First Friday.

By submitting images to ShowSubmit, artists are agreeing to the terms established by Long River Gallery for exhibitions and understand that the Vermont Pastel Society has no insurance for liability available for art in transition to and from the venue and while hanging in the venue. All risk for damage to or loss of artwork at the JS, as well as during transportation to or from the venue, is the responsibility of the artist.

Please contact your Hub Point Person to help you arrange transportation of your artwork(s).

If you have any questions about the JS, feel free to contact either one of us:
