Satellite Membership Information:

EDGE Gallery is dedicated to contemporary and experimental artists who work outside the domain of commercial venues. We welcome new media, video and performance art as well as innovative work in traditional media.  Artists must represent themselves. Please read our mission statement before applying.

Who it’s for:

    • Artists making contemporary, non-commercial, or experimental art
    • Artists seeking an art community
    • Artists who are just beginning their art career
    • Artists who are looking for an affordable membership option
    • Artists who don’t have time for Full or Associate membership
    • Colorado artists who live outside a 50 mile radius from EDGE Gallery

Condensed List of Rules and Benefits:

  • Satellite members can participate in 2 group shows per year (with a possibility of more): a group exhibition showcasing Satellite members only (in half the gallery), and the December holiday cash and carry show alongside the full and associate members (in the entire gallery).
  • Dues are $120 per year, non-refundable, paid in advance. In cases of financial need, other payment plans can be arranged (however, artists must pay for 6 months before exhibiting).
  • Satellite members will get 1 image plus text (including links to artists’ website/social media) on the Satellite member section of the EDGE Gallery website.
  • Satellite members won’t have jobs, sit the gallery, or get keys. They will not go to meetings, be involved in general EDGE Gallery emails, or vote. The Satellite Committee will communicate all relevant information to the Satellite members.
  • For all exhibitions, EDGE Gallery will be responsible for the layout and installation of the artwork, as well as the formatting and printing of title cards.
  • For the December holiday show, EDGE Gallery takes a 10% commission on the sale of artwork. For all other shows, no commission is taken.

Application Process:

Applicants must submit documentation of current work (from the last 5 years) and a short artist’s statement to

edge.satellite.member@gmail.com
Advice to applicants:
    • Presenting a consistent body of work is the best strategy for displaying your commitment to your art.
    •  Priority is given to artists who are familiar with our organization. We encourage artists to visit EDGE gallery before applying.

Video or performance artists please include link/s to your work samples in your email application.

All others send 6-8  jpeg images. Please size these to 700 pixels on the longest side.

Additional information is welcome: website, Instagram, etc.
