Power in Numbers is back again! Gallery Nucleus will feature all traditional work in a 5 x 7 postcard format, showcasing hundreds of pieces from artists all around the world. Each piece will only be $100, so it's a fantastic way to acquire some original art -- for both the new and longtime collector. The show will be cash and carry, meaning each purchased piece will be immediately removed from the show to be taken home.

PURCHASING INSTRUCTIONS

On June 28th, opening night, the show will be available for VIEWING only beginning at 12 PM, but no sales will begin until 5pm. At 4:30 PM, the gallery will be cleared, and a line will be formed for entry beginning at 5 PM. No phone orders will be taken. All sales must be in-person.
Plan to arrive earlier than 5pm to line up if you plan on seeing everything in person - pieces will be removed from the wall as they are purchased - first come first serve.
20 people will be allowed to enter the gallery at a time to view and select pieces.
Free to the public, no RSVP needed
All pieces will have 2 labels identifying them by name. Peel off the right-hand label of the piece you wish to purchase. Do not remove the right-hand label unless you intend to purchase the piece.
Present the peeled label to the register to pay. All pieces will be $100 plus tax.
Pay with cash or card.
Once the purchase is final a gallery associate will remove the artwork from the wall for you.
The complete show will be available to view on our website starting June 29th at 12:00 AM PT (after midnight), and all unsold works from opening weekend will be available for purchase through the website.

OPEN SUBMISSIONS - NOW CLOSED!

In 2023 for our Power in Numbers 8 show, we featured over 300 pieces of art, a great majority from artists who participated in our open submissions process. This year we're pleased to accept open submission entries for Power in Numbers 9 as well -- but we're limiting the number of entries per artist to 3.

Want to see the available pieces from last year's Power in Numbers? Take a look here!

ART GUIDELINES

- All artwork must be traditional media. Any digital media pieces will not be considered for submission unless they have been altered significantly by hand -- i.e., painted or drawn upon with paint/pencil, creating a 1/1 piece that can not be replicated perfectly.

- Both international and domestic submissions will be accepted.

- There is no set theme, however all artwork must not feature any explicit sexual or violent imagery.

- Artwork must be in a 5" x 7" format. Both landscape and portrait formats are acceptable.

- Artists can submit up to 3 entries. Any entries past 3 will not be considered.

- Artwork must be on thick paper, or lightweight board that can be attached to the wall with acid-free museum putty. Anything thicker than 1/8th of an inch is not suitable for the show. If you plan on working with unconventional materials, please contact submissions@gallerynucleus.com to confirm your materials will be suitable for the show.

- The title and your name must be written legibly on the back of your piece.

- for any questions regarding artwork guidelines, please contact submissions@gallerynucleus.com with the subject line "PIN questions."

SUBMISSION PROCESS

- When your artwork is completed, scan the art and set the size to 1000 pixels in width at 72 dpi.

- email your entries to submissions@gallerynucleus.com with the subject line "Power in Numbers 2025 Submission". Be sure to include the title and medium of each piece in the body of the email.

- if you are submitting multiple entries, INCLUDE ALL ENTRIES WITHIN ONE EMAIL. If your images are too large to attach to one email, they are either the wrong size or they should be compiled into a PDF.

- Entries will be accepted until May 15th, 2025, at 11:59 PM PST. Make sure to submit your work on time!

- The gallery will then judge entries and email each artist with the results of their submission. Further instructions will be provided for artists that have accepted work within the show.
