Call to Artists: Amuse-Bouche at LeMieux Galleries 2025
Ends on
Call to Artists: Amuse-Bouche
25-29 June 2025 (during Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2025)
332 Julia Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
Deadline to submit: 15 May 2025
An amuse-bouche is a small tasting of what is offered on the menu, often served as an hors d'œuvre or appetizer. With this culinary tradition in mind, we would like to invite registered participants of Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2025 to submit to an exhibition that will take place at LeMieux Galleries during the event. The exhibition is being juried by Christy Wood, the director of LeMieux Galleries, and Kolaj Magazine Editor Ric Kasini Kadour.
Space is limited and the logistics of this exhibition are particular. Please take a moment to read this Call in its entirety and ask any questions you may have before submitting. Your submission will signal to us that you have read the terms of the exhibition and are committed to the artist's obligation.
PART ONE: Submission
Submission is only open to registered attendees of Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2025. If you are not registered, please do so before submitting. Visit the EVENT WEBSITE for more details.
You may submit up to three artworks for consideration.
Artwork must be framed, ready to hang, and for sale. Artwork (including frame) may be no larger than 16"x20".
The submission tool will ask you for the title, materials, dimensions, year, price, and a 50-100 word statement about the specific artwork. You will also be asked for a high resolution image (300dpi or better at 5" wide or a minimum of 1500 pixels wide). The image must be labeled "NAME-OF-ARTIST-TITLE-OF-ARTWORK".
If you do not follow these instructions, your work may not be considered for the exhibition.
The deadline to submit is Thursday, 15 May 2025. Notification of acceptance will be sent before Midnight EDT on Saturday, 17 May 2025.
PART TWO: Logistics
If accepted, the artist will commit to shipping or delivering the framed, ready to hang, for sale artwork to:
LeMieux Galleries
ATTN: Kolaj Fest New Orleans
332 Julia Street
New Orleans, LA 70130
The artwork must arrive on or before (but no later than) Friday, 30 May 2025.
The artwork will be displayed at LeMieux Galleries along with a card that states the artist's name, title, materials, dimensions, year, and price. A printed guide with the artists' statements will be available in the gallery and online. Artists will be invited to speak about their work at an event at the gallery during Kolaj Fest New Orleans.
The artwork will be for sale and, if sold, LeMieux Galleries will take a 50% commission of the sale price and pay the artist the remainder within 60 days of the completion of the sale.
If the artwork is not sold, the artist is responsible for collecting the artwork on Sunday, 29 June 2025 between the hours of 10AM and 1PM. (Note: The Great Collage Swap will take place 10:30AM to Noon on that day.)
Those artists who do not wish to collect their artwork may choose to pay Kolaj Institute to ship the artwork, at which point the artist will be sent an electronic invoice for the shipping and handling in the week following Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2025. The artwork will be shipped once that invoice is paid. You must request return shipment of your unsold work at the time you ship the work to the gallery.
Artwork not collected by 1PM on Sunday, 29 June 2025 will become the property of Kolaj Institute.
