Welcome — we’re excited to see your work. The Cutler Collective champions artists by offering thoughtful, non‑exclusive representation and collaborative support to help place work with collectors, galleries, and partners. If you’d like us to consider representing you, please send up to 10 carefully selected images or files that best represent your practice.

How to submit
1. Prepare up to 10 images/files (see file specs below). Choose work that shows the strongest and most cohesive representation of your practice.

3. Submit via the online form [Insert submission form link here] OR email your materials to submissions@

Rights, confidentiality & non‑exclusivity
- You retain full copyright to your work.
- By submitting, you confirm you have the rights to the images and grant The Cutler Collective permission to use submitted images for review and, if you are selected, for promotion and placement related to our representation efforts. If you do not wish images to be used for promotion, please note that in your submission.
- Submissions are for non‑exclusive consideration — you remain free to pursue other opportunities.
What to expect
- Review: We review submissions on a rolling basis. If your work is selected for representation or next steps, we’ll contact you.
- Feedback: While we review every submission carefully, we’re not always able to provide individualized feedback. If you don’t hear from us, please feel free to check in or resubmit updated work after 6 months.
Tips for a strong submission
- Edit ruthlessly: a concise, cohesive selection is better than an exhaustive one.
- Prioritize quality images: clear, well‑lit photos with neutral backgrounds show work best.
- Tell a story: use your artist statement to explain the practice, process, and context.
- Be transparent about pricing and edition sizes to help us place the work appropriately.
