Artist Submission Requirements

Artists are selected for inclusion in the Hadley Collection by the Hadley Foundation Visual Arts Committee. The committee is composed of the collection curator, area artists and collectors, Hadley Foundation trustees, and select HaysMed Associates. The committee meets four times per year to review submissions, select artists, and discuss matters regarding the collection.

The Visual Arts Committee follows established guidelines to select the art. Only well-established professional Kansas artists qualify for consideration. Included are paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures and fabrics. Currently, twenty-two Governor’s Artists Award winners are represented.

Artists interested in having pieces added to the collection are asked to submit the following materials for the committee's consideration via traditional mail or arrange for electronic submission by contacting the Hadley Collection curator via social media:

Include the following:

  1. A document consisting of your artist statement reflecting an introduction to your work, mediums pursued, etc., followed by a biography that is a short description of your career as an artist and major accomplishments (please no CV's or resumés). At the top of the document, please include your name, address, phone number, and email. If emailing please ensure documents are .pdf files.
  2. 10 to 15 digital images of your artwork. Images should be sharp, represent each piece well, and have a suggested image height of at least 700 pixels for good viewing on screen. Please avoid images that exceed 1.5MB. File names should begin with progressive numbers and include the title of each work. Images can be placed on a non-returnable flash drive or via by link to online gallery.
  3. A document that progressively lists each digital image and includes title, media, size, and price.
