Dear fellow tattooers, we want your art!

​

We would love to adorn our gallery with art exclusively by licensed tattooers to showcase your talent and share our space with a love for creation as professionals in the industry. Submissions must be an original piece of art of any medium.

 

Drawings, mixed media, photographs, paintings, sculptures, digital art, wood burning, printmaking, etc. The only requirement is that it must be able to be hung on a wall by string or wire. This means hardware on the back of your piece to attach to. If you have a sculpture piece let us now what you need in order to properly display it!  

​

We enjoy displaying a variety of subject matter and mediums for our collective exhibitions, so we encourage you to submit any piece of art you would like to see displayed!

 

Feel free to submit multiple pieces of art for us to jury along as series of artworks that may be displayed together. Please note we have limited gallery space and due to the volume of submissions, we may have to politely decline.

 

Spoken poetry or performance art is also always welcome to submit to take the stage on the night of the opening reception! 
 
Submissions can be sent to dragonsdenllc.ct@gmail.com 
Please put "Gallery Submission" in the subject. 

 

For each submitted piece, please include:

To encourage more submissions, we are offering to pick up your piece at Tommy's Tattoo Convention at Mohegan Sun on Sunday October 11th to transport to our gallery.
