If you prefer that solo option all information can be found here: https://www.lite-haus.net/information.

LiTE-HAUS is a non-profit organization (Ad Finem gGmbH). However, this is not a grant-funded exhibition, and we were not awarded the 2-Year project space funding, unfortunately.

Donations for larger artworks will be determined if selected.
Gallery commission is 30%. The artist's share is 70% of the sale. THINK about that when you price your work later.
Artists cannot choose where the artwork will hang in the gallery rooms. We will install your work and gallery-sit.
Prepare a maximum of 10 files as PNG or JPEG. If you do not prepare your files correctly, your submission will not be reviewed. We do not need to know the name of your work or the price for this application. We will get that information later if you are accepted. Name your files: LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_WIDTHxHEIGHT_NUMBER.
