Provide financial assistance for under-funded public school art programs and public school art departments.

50% of all contributions will be restricted to providing financial assistance for under-funded public school art programs and public school art departments. Examples of such activities would be, providing cameras to local high schools, purchasing paper, paints, clay, canvas and other miscellaneous art class supplies. Other examples could be purchasing art equipment, supplementing art educators’ compensation, and providing funds for art field trips to art galleries and art exhibits. A valid representative of the public school must present to the corporation with a receipt of the funds or goods received.

Offer annual art collegiate scholarships

30% of all contributions will be restricted to offering an annual art collegiate scholarship. The scholarship will be limited to providing the awarded student candidates with funds for books, supplies and tuitions. No portion of any contributions will be used for lodging, meals, clothes, or any other personal items. Student candidates will need to apply, in writing by May 1st of each year and awarded candidates will be notified, in writing, by June 1st. Qualified candidates must be pursuing a BFA or MFA and must be able to prove a financial need. Candidates will be awarded funds based upon available restricted contributions. The selection process will be determined by a majority Board of Director vote and will be primarily, but not exclusively, based upon the application, the prior 24 month GPA, artistic talent and financial hardship. Scholarship benefits are limited to $3000 per student per school year. If additional funds are available, smaller scholarships will be awarded. Scholarship funds will be paid directly to the university or college. Only funds for books and supplies may be reimbursed to the student, as long as they can prove current university or college enrollment and provide a copy of the a valid purchase receipt.

Art One Gallery, Inc. represents students from across the US as well as local, emerging Arizona artists. If you would like to be represented by Art One, feel free to submit a portfolio for us to review.

We ask to represent artists exclusively in Arizona. Additionally, one of the goals of Art One is to enable average-income people to afford to purchase original art, so our price point for incoming artists usually has a ceiling of about $850 retail. Our high end, seasoned artists sell around $1500. We realize some artists aren't comfortable with that price point, but we are here primarily to get people started on a career in art.

Here are some guidelines when it comes to assembling your portfolio for submission to our gallery:
1) Art One only accepts submissions in the form of CD.
2) Only submit artwork produced in the past 12 months.
3) Make sure everything is available and for sale.
4) Included with your artwork should be a separate sheet that lists (for each piece) the title, medium, size and price (what you would like to be paid).
5) We would also like to see a biography and artist statement.
6) Make sure to indicate if you are a student or non-student.
7) Don't forget to include your contact information!

There are three ways that you can submit work to Art One Gallery, hand delivery of portfolio, through the mail or as an e-mail submission (please include text attached as a Word document).

Art One Gallery - Submission
4120 North Marshall Way
Scottsdale, AZ 85251

If you deliver your portfolio by hand to the gallery, realize that we are not able to review portfolios in person. Feel free to leave it with any employee on staff. If we have reviewed your portfolio, please make sure to stop by the gallery and pick it up within 30 days.

For all portfolios, please allow two weeks for a response, and if you haven't heard back from us by then, please give us a call at 480.946.5076. Please understand that though we do our best to view submissions in a timely manner, other priorities often take precedence.

We select work, not on our personal tastes, but that for which we have clientele.

If you have been selected to show with Art One, and you bring your work to the gallery, please make sure that it's wired and ready to hang on our walls. Any work that isn't ready to hang up on our walls will be sent back to you and the show will be rescheduled.

Thanks for submitting!
