Guidelines
-
All art should be ready to be hung/installed by the Long Island Museum. Please note that paper-mounted works will be stapled to gallery walls, so you may want to mount them on a larger sheet of paper or board as backing; all other hanging items should have appropriate mounting hooks, hardware and/or wire attached. We cannot accept works with self-adhesive or taped on mounting hooks, as they fall from the gallery walls.
Drop-Off process
-
After reviewing your information we will send you a confirmation email with a blank artwork label for you to fill out, print and attach to the back of your student pieces. 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.
-
Shipped artworks must be received by January 30, 2025.

When artwork is received, you will be given an admission pass for each student, allowing them to visit the exhibition & museum, along with four guests, free of charge. Students will be able to visit as many times as they like while the exhibition is on view. The museum always extends free admission to teachers and school staff from exhibiting schools; you may receive free admission during the exhibition’s run by showing your school ID. This year there will also be an opportunity for high school students to engage with visitors in our gallery in a ‘meet the artist,’ format. We will give all high school teachers this information upon artwork mailing or drop off.
-
If you would like to have the art mailed back to you, you must include a pre-paid return postage label as well as appropriate packaging. Please have the box/artwork weighed and include enough postage. We regret that we cannot accept checks or cash for postage.
