Frequently Asked Questions

When will I hear back about my submission?

We will notify all applicants within 2 weeks of the submission deadline. Our jury carefully reviews each submission to ensure a diverse and thought-provoking exhibition.

What if I don't have a portfolio website?

A portfolio website is optional. Your artist statement and submitted artworks are the most important elements of your application. If you have an Instagram, Behance, or other online presence, feel free to include that link.

Can I submit after the deadline?

Late submissions will only be considered on a case-by-case basis and if space permits. We encourage you to submit before the deadline to ensure your work is reviewed.

Is the $30 submission fee refundable?

The submission fee is non-refundable and covers administrative costs, jury review, and exhibition planning expenses. This fee applies whether your work is selected or not.

How do I share my artwork images?

Upload your images to Google Drive, Dropbox, or any image hosting service. Make sure to set sharing permissions to "Anyone with the link can view," then paste the shareable link in the form. See the instructions above the form for detailed steps.

Can I change my submission after I submit?

If you need to make changes to your submission, with your name and the changes you'd like to make. We'll do our best to accommodate updates before the deadline.

What kind of work does Ungated accept?

We welcome works that have been excluded, censored, or gatekept from traditional galleries due to controversial themes, unconventional methods, challenging subject matter, or use of emerging technologies like AI. If your work pushes boundaries or addresses topics deemed too sensitive for mainstream galleries, Ungated is the right platform for you.

Do I need to be based in Detroit?

While we prioritize Metro Detroit artists, submissions from artists outside the area are welcome. However, selected artists must be able to deliver their work to the exhibition venue in Metro Detroit.

What are the prizes?

This is a juried exhibition with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards. Prize details will be announced as we secure additional funding beyond our initial $500 Fair For All grant.
