Mission Statement
The In Art Gallery is an online gallery and resource for artists in all ranges of careers to have a platform for exhibiting artwork and reaching a global audience. The In Art Gallery provides opportunity for artists to submit work in various mediums in an international juried competition. In a world in which travel restrictions and access to art are becoming limited, we are looking to create a space for artists to build their career with a professional experience. The In Art Gallery will hold several juried exhibitions throughout the year for artists to apply and build their resume and provide an affordable juried venue for artists to exhibit. We are looking to provide artists with an avenue to have their work seen by professional artists, professors, curators, and critics across the globe. The submission fee will cover the cost of jurying and website management. The In Art Gallery will also provide monetary awards to artists. It is within the galleries goals to collaborate with other establishments in a way to support arts in different communities.
Founders: Haley Clancy Inyart & Joseph Jesse Ovalle

How can I guarantee a fair judgment of three-dimensional work?
The In Art Gallery does allow short 10 second video work and allows artists a total of three works to submit with one detail of each work. We understand work in the round can be difficult to capture in a photograph so we encourage artists to problem solve the documentation of the work, as this will assist them with other applications in the art world.
How many works am I allowed to submit?
Each artist is allowed to submit three works and one detail of each work for $20.
How do I add this exhibition to my resume?
