This artist pack will include an information sheet with instructions, and three A5 artwork cards for you to make your original artworks on. Once you have made your artworks and filled in the artwork details form, you ship the artworks back in the supplied return envelope.

    *Please note: International artists will receive a digital artist pack to ensure sufficient return delivery time allowance.

    The return mailing address for artworks is:

    How are artworks exhibited?

    We display all artworks online on our website after registration closes. We also display as many artworks as we can in our in-person venue that hosts our sale days. With the volume we expect this year, not all artworks will be displayed physically. 

    What type of artworks are accepted?

    Feel free to use any technique, medium, or subject matter. We love the variety! As long as the artwork is original and is made on, or adhered to the supplied artwork card (A5 in size).

    Can I use my own paper / alternative substrate?

    Yes! As long as the artwork is A5 in size, and adhered to the supplied artwork card. e.g. This means you can paint on canvas and then stick it to the card.

    Are sculptures accepted?

    Absolutely! Sculptures should be approximately the size of a closed fist, or smaller.

    Can I sign the artwork?

    You can NOT sign the front of the artwork with any identifying signatures, names etc. We may not include these artworks in the show.

    Will I get notified when you receive my returned artwork?

    Unfortunately, we are unable to notify individual artists when we receive artworks. Artists may choose to add tracking to their return envelope at the post office.

    What happens to unsold artworks?

    We hold onto unsold artworks and include them in the following year's show. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to return artworks.

    Do artists receive any payment?

    All artworks contributed to the show are donations. In 2024, the profits will go towards funding programs at Studio A and We Are Studios, both organisations that support professional development for artists living with disability.

    If contributing artwork to the Incognito Art Show will compromise your income or have a negative effect on your finances, we ask you to support us in other ways, for example following and engaging with our social media pages. We are grateful for all forms of support! We don’t want any artists to contribute that don’t have the means to.

    What happens to unsold artwork?

    We’ll hold on to it and sell it at next year’s Incognito Art Show. We anticipate a sell out so don’t worry about your artwork not selling!
