RED HOT WICKED II
2018 Annual All Women Artists Group Exhibition
Announcing an Open Call to Women Artists
ABOUT RED HOT WICKED
Studio C Gallery is looking for women artists, whose work is inspired by erotica. Erotica is often depicted by the male version. We are not interested in pornography; we are seeking work that is a visual expression of sensuality, passion, the lover, inamorata and more. In the spirit of Saint Valentine’s Day, inspiration can come in symbols as well such as keys, winged figures, hearts or doves etc.
It can come in the form of fantasy or dreams. Whatever summons your muse, Aphrodite. Bring it with humor. We love that! It’s Valentine’s Day!
Time to be a bit naughty.

SHIPPING TO AND FROM GALLERY
Shipping to and from the gallery is the full responsibility of the artist. It is highly recommended to insure your work in transit. If you are shipping your work from other states or overseas, please make sure to check the Calendar dates carefully, to insure that your work arrives to the gallery on time.
It has been our experience that the USPS is the most economical way of shipping. However, the USPS cannot guarantee an exact date of arrival unless you ship Priority Mail. Please pack well too. Never use Ground Shipping with USPS. Please make sure we have your tracking number.
FedEx is highly recommended but it is more expensive. We do not encourage using UPS unless you schedule a delivery date of arrival on a weekday. We have had problems with the UPS weekend drivers, dropping off at other locations, because they cannot figure out how to get in the gate.
We are happy to discuss any questions you may have about shipping. Please do not hesitate to contact us at studiocla148@gmail.com
We are happy to help.
Studio C Gallery is committed to taking the best care of you work while it is with us. All shipping materials are saved, labeled and artwork is re-packed (if not sold) in a diligent manner. We will reinforce shipping boxes if needed, to insure protection in shipping. However, if a shipping box is badly damaged in shipment, we may charge a nominal handling fee to replace the container and packing material. This varies and rarely happens. To be discussed with Studio C Gallery and the artist.
COMMISSION
Studio C Gallery takes a 25% donation for each artwork sold during the duration of the exhibition. Seventy-five percent (75%) of sales will go to the artist. We ask that each artist register or have a PayPal account. We prefer using PayPal for expediency. This helps us pay you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your interest in Studio C Gallery. We look forward to your submission.
