We invite you to participate in our 24th Annual Colors of Long Island student art exhibition, on view from February 17 through April 8, 2023

Teacher Registration available below from November 16, 2022 through January 11, 2023

 

Guidelines

 

    • We will be accepting only two pieces of student work per school.  
    • You may choose to submit one group project in lieu of individual pieces. Group projects will be limited to one per school, with a maximum of 30 students participating. The students should all contribute to one finished, cohesive piece.  (Group projects are not meant to be individual artworks mounted as one.) Group Projects are still subject to size limitations below. 
  • Works may be in any medium and may be no larger than 36” in any one direction. We regret that anything larger will not be accepted.   
  • Please submit only one registration per school. Coordinate your efforts with any other teacher(s) in your building who may want to submit an entry, as no exceptions will be made for additional entries.  We are only able to accept two individual student pieces or one group piece, regardless of the number of teachers at a school. 
  • All art should be ready to hang/install by the Long Island Museum. Please note that paper-mounted works will be stapled to gallery walls; all other hanging items should have appropriate mounting hooks, hardware and/or wire attached. We cannot accept works with self-adhesive mounting hooks, as they fall from the gallery walls.

Registration Forms

 

  • Registration is a one-step process. Please have all your information ready to input at the time that you register. This will include the names of teachers, students and all artwork information. The wording you submit is what LIM will use to create the wall label that corresponds with your student(s) work.

Drop-Off process

Please DO NOT label the FRONT of your students’ artwork. We will be printing and mounting gallery labels that will be installed on the walls with your student work. If you are unable to print the back-of-artwork label we send, please label the back of each submitted piece clearly with the following information:
    • School name
    • Teacher name
    • Student name
    • Artwork title 

 

  • Please note the directionality of the artwork on the back label or somewhere on the back of each piece.
