Call to Artist: Cutesy
Whether tiny, colorful, pleasing, or playful, Cute has become a staple cult genre in contemporary art & culture. Basking in childlike visuals reinforces and stimulates self-protective feelings, generating a sense of comfort, even psychological support.
Cute can exist in and alongside many artistic styles, such as surrealism, impressionism, abstraction, avant-garde, and more. We invite artists to submit and share their cute perspectives and artistic style. All mediums and subject matter are welcome except for video and audio.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What is Cloudfolios?
Cloudfolios is a platform we use to publish our art calls. Artists submitting their work for consideration will be doing so through the Cloudfolios system.
- How and when will I know if I've been accepted?
Every artist who submitted their work for consideration will be notified by email. Once the work is finalized, an email is sent to the artists automatically by the Cloudfolios system (the same system the artist used to submit). This email will let the artists know which works were accepted and which works were rejected. If you do not receive an email within a couple of days, please double check your spam folder and or contact us at: contact@hostampa.com.

- How and when do I submit my biography and conceptual statements?
Artists will be given detailed instructions through their exhibiting details PDF on how to submit their statements. This requirement only applies to artists who are accepted.
- Why is installation, audio, and video art not allowed?
We apologize for this exclusion. Our gallery at this time is not equipped to exhibit these particular mediums of art. We hope to change this in the future.
- How much is it to submit and are there any other fees during the submission process?
For this particular exhibition, the entry fee is $30.00 for a maximum of 20 works that you can submit. Meaning, for $30.00, you will be able to submit 20 individual works of art.

The additional $3.00 charged does not go to the gallery. It goes to CloudFolios™ Inc - which is a separate company. We simply utilize the Cloudfolios software.
