Born in Nebraska and raised in Western Colorado, Zoe Stanek has found her place among the trees in Oregon’s Pacific Northwest. She’s a creator who takes inspiration from nature and different regions across the United States. Her dream is to become a published author. Zoe explores various mediums including: pottery, acrylic paint, watercolor, ink, colored pencil, and paper collage. The overwhelming themes of her work are hope and whimsy.
Self-proclaimed eclectic pop-conceptual artist and writer preferring to find beauty in the obvious, the mundane, the grotesque, and the overlooked. As a person with ADHD, limiting to a particular medium or subject is impractical. I have an interdisciplinary studio fine arts degree and have been making art professionally since 2005 and teaching art for a living since 2016. Children and adults take classes in various mediums through the business, Artingales, with multiple methods of printmaking being one priority.

Work must be displayed in any geometric format no larger than 12 x 12, even if framed. Squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles, pentagons, whatever.
Max 3 lbs and 6 inch depth for each hanging work. Test your hung work to make sure the weight or depth does not cause it to face downward unless that’s your intention. It will still need to remain within its max 12 x 12 x 6 boundary.
Delivered work must be ready to hang or display. (no taped on or stapled wire) Test wire strength by hanging the piece on your thumb and bouncing your hand a few times. Did it break loose from your frame or snap? For 2023 it is okay to bring work in mat, it must have an adhesive hang tab with a hole in it.
3D work limited to 12 x 12 x 12 and 10 lbs. Must be ready to display and not easily tipped.
No reproductions. Original photography, printed graphic design, video stills, hand pulled printmaking, etc. qualify as original work the same as other traditional mediums.
If you’re not sure how work is supposed to be displayed, check out the Artist Resources.
Email an image of your work as soon as you can! If you already registered and have images of work that will be in the show, email them. Those received early may be placed in print advertising, those received later may only make it to web based publication if there is time to share. 97116artshow@gmail.com
Your very important artist number must be on all pieces. You will receive your artist number shortly after submissions close. Your sales will be processed through this number and each piece must have it on the back. You are welcome to let the labels serve the purpose on pieces large enough, otherwise add your number to a hang tag. Artist numbers won’t be assigned until sometime after registration closes Oct. 31.
Labels (x 3 this year * ) You will also be emailed these Word and PDF documents for labels, and we need one label securely affixed to the back of your work, another loosely taped to the back*, and a full set filled, cut, and provided at drop-off so we can use them as show cards. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you. If your work is too small for affixing, securely tape it to a hang tag. If there is room, you may also secure a business card to the back or bottom of your work. * a third label is only needed if the work is priced $100-$150
Right to Refuse: 97116 Art Show and its volunteers reserve the right to refuse work that is not ready to display or does not meet size requirements. We also reserve the right to determine work is not suitable for general audiences. In those cases, the work will be put into the 18+ Naughty area.
LIABILITY: All possible care will be taken with your work while in our show. However, 97116 Art Show and its agents will assume no liability for damage or loss. You are advised to carry your own insurance on your work. By delivering your work, you acknowledge agreement.

NO ARTIST ENTRY FEE THIS YEAR!
97116 will take a 20% commission to cover partial production costs and support this year’s charity, Hope Community Network. Artists get 80% of sales. All work must be for sale.
Artists must submit their entry using the 2022 Artist Registration. Once you’re done registering, please email us an image when you have work ready so we can promote it. 97116artshow@gmail.com
Some people use the great hack of gluing wire with E6000 when the back is an alternative surface. Another option when we’re accepting 3D work is to provide an easel (labeled with your name for return) and we’ll display the piece on a table.
If you have another way that is secure and IS NOT any of the following: sawtooth hanger, keyhole, *taped on, or weakly stapled, go for it. *For 2023 it is okay to bring work in mat, it must have an adhesive hang tab with a hole in it. Only matted without frame work may be hung with these tabs since that work is lightweight and shallow.
How should 3D work be prepared?
3D work should be stable with wide enough footing that it isn’t easily tipped. It should stay within the dimensions listed in the Call for Submissions or Artist Guidelines. It’s also important to make sure the piece is not likely to unwittingly injure a person.
May I use a pseudonym?
Yes, you may. Register with your actual name because that’s how we pay you. Then feel free to email your pseudonym from the same address and we’ll list you in the exhibit that way. You’ll fill out your own show cards with the pseudonym.
