slopartdotcom

GET IT TOGETHER: Submit plentiful vivid evidence of one (1) or more of your recent Fine Art products, whatever they may be, in the form of slides, jpegs, quicktime movies, via email, CD-ROMs, DVDs etc. & you pay only $24.99.

Our Beneficient Offer to Those Who Submit: If your submission meets the needs of our finicky consumer base, at least one (1) commodity from each entrant will be included in at least one (1) Slop Brand print advertisement AND seen on the award-winning Slop Art Dot Com in the year following your submission!  When consumers pounce, you get at least 60% of the retail price (plus the shipping costs when you send products from your location straight to the consumer).
We'll design the print advertisements & run them at least once in local papers around the country as resources allow & send you a copy, along with the original file.  Since every sincere Fine Art manufacturer is likely to have an eager audience awaiting an opportunity to acquire his or her wares, we've decided that this time, unlike in our four (4) previous calls for submissions, we're not going to send rejection letters. Instead we'll find a way to embrace the work of each sincere entry.  Slop Brand product analysts reserve the right to show details, superimpose graphics, write blurbs, etc. & apply their secret formulae to determine which products will be shown smaller, even without an image, & which products will be highlighted.
Also: At least one (1) artist will be chosen for the Solo Zone of a truck, train, &/or ship-borne Slop Brand Shippable Showroom franchise, which will be shipped to & installed wherever in conjunction with efforts & financing of the highest-bidding franchisees. 

Many will be invited to appear in brick & mortar-style Slop Brand Showroom Franchises should any be scheduled. Though nothing is set in stone as of this writing, potential franchisees mustering adequate investment are invited to propose times & places for the traditional Slop Brand Showroom Franchise, as seen to date in: Austin & Beaumont, TX, Beverly, MA, Chicago, IL, Cedar Falls, IA, Kansas City & St. Louis, MO, La Crosse & Madison, WI, Oxford, OH, Portland, ME, Plymouth, NH, Shepherdstown, WV, & South Bend, IN.  Click here for more info.

WORTHWHILE BENEFITS of SUBMISSION:

  • You get at least 60% of any retail prices paid by the consumer, whether your work is sold from a franchise or over the worldwide web (except when sold in the Art*o*mat® format #2 below).

  • Those products that are submitted by manufacturers who've earned a Master of Fine Arts degree will be eligible for the Certified Masterworks branding glory.  We've led the industry in recognizing the value added by questioning assumptions & comparing work.  By pioneering the Certified Masterworks quality indicator we're able to reach certain more closed-minded demographics & sometimes it's even sans the Slop branding. Here's an example.

  • All artists who submit will be eligible for being chosen by Rent-An-Art-Historian's inordinately gifted Chris Thompson Ph.D. to become the subject of at least one (1) written piece spotlighting their work. Thompson's written piece(s) will be made available to the chosen artist(s) & sent unsolicited for potential publication in ArtForum, Janson's History of Art, Reader's Digest, People Magazine, & others.

  • Because our print ads go into museums & esteemed private collections, your work will likely continue "selling" many years into the future, such as in Slop's appearance in two (2) recent books: Richard Noyce's Printmaking At the Edge & David P. Becker's The Imprint of Place: Maine Printmaking: 1800-2005.

  • Get a Slop Brand iron-on embroidered patch & become eligible to order more patches that you've undoubtedly earned. Great consolation when sales are scarce or a means with which to boast.

In addition to sharing your work with the public as you describe it, we're selectively looking to fill a handful of slots, expanding our offerings in the following compact & familiar formats to help ease consumer alienation from your formidable content:
1. Slop Brand Performance On Demand  Your proposed time-consuming strategies will be made available to International & domestic patrons who will pay travel, accomodation, & living expenses in addition to the cost of the elapsing Fine Art product itself.  Submissions will also be considered for deployment as performance on a per peek basis in select showroom franchises. Suggested retail price $.99 / peek.
Performance On Demand

2. Art*o*mat® READY  Consumers everywhere are growing accustomed to Art*o*mat® (see http://www.artomat.org), the world leader in compact ultra-accessible Fine Art product retail.  Everyone is invited to send artwork directly to Art*o*mat® & get it to be sold out of their line of recommissioned cigarette vending machines in 80+ diverse & auspicious venues.  We've decided to submit a limited line & Slop's curatorial staff will choose at least three (3) eligible works for Slop Brand Art*o*mat® READY packaging & then submit them to the Art*o*mat® curatorial staff for potential acceptance.  Each chosen manufacturer will receive five (5) packages.  Should Art*o*mat® approve the prototype, submissions accepted by Slop Brand in this format must then be repeated at least fifty (50) times.  With a set sale price of $5 per packaged work, artists selling through Art*o*mat® are generally reimbursed $2.50 per item. But with this Slop-mediated opportunity, artists will be raking in an impressive $1.75 per work!  If you are interested in being considered, please indicate as such in your entry blank.  Art*o*mat® is not affiliated with Slop Brand Art & we cannot guarantee that work we package for our elite line of properly-sized & weighted products will be accepted for sale by Art*o*mat®.
