Contact Shaun Giles at sgiles@FristArtMuseum.org if your digital media files cannot be reduced in size to meet these requirements.
Exhibiting Artists: The Frist will mat and/or frame selected works for display. The exhibition will be on view from March 21 to July 2025 (closing date TBD). A panel of collaborators, artists, and curators will select works for the exhibition. The selected artists and their guests will be invited to a reception in March 2025, to recognize the artists and celebrate the exhibition. Each artist whose work is selected will receive a $100 honorarium.
Permissions granted to the Frist Art Museum: By submitting artwork for consideration, the artist certifies that they own the copyright to their work, and they are entitled to license the rights herein on a nonexclusive and gratis basis to the museum. The artist grants permission for any of their exhibition artwork to be photographed by the public for personal use and to be photographed, filmed, or telecast for promotional and documentation purposes by the museum or the media while on display. The artist grants the museum permission to use any submitted materials in its promotional and educational efforts in support of this exhibition, including but not limited to release of images and media files to the press for editorial review, publication on the Frist’s website and social media pages (at 72 ppi), promotional and marketing endeavors of the museum, publication in print and digital formats in support of the exhibition in components like the exhibition gallery guide or invitation, and any other noncommercial use. The artist also understands that the museum will make an effort to include a credit line acknowledging the artist and their work whenever the work is published but that space and other factors are sometimes constraints to this recognition.
