Hugh was at Paper Slam yesterday to pick up the Brooklyn Reading Works posters. He saw the six by six gallery and thought it was a cool idea. Paper Slam has paid us nothing to appreciate their new gallery. we just thought it was cool

The Federal Trade Commission  published final guidelines
Monday that dictate, among other things, that “bloggers or other
word-of-mouth marketers” must state when payments, free products or
“other material connections” have been exchanged between them and the
companies whose products they review or otherwise promote on their
sites.

The FTC announcement states that “while decisions will be reached on
a case-by-case basis, the post of a blogger who receives cash or
in-kind payment to review a product is considered an endorsement.”

Each month, Six by Six Gallery will exhibit a new collection of original art, each and every one of them on a six inch square canvas.

This small and consistent size allows the gallery to show the works of a large and diverse group of artists every month. It also allows collectors the opportunity to curate their own selection of artwork at an identical size that will look great when hung together.

The inaugural exhibit represents over 100 pieces of art from artists from across the country with prices ranging from $40-$500. The artists who exhibit at Six by Six Gallery will enjoy an unprecedented 80 percent commission on all of their work that sells. The gallery is currently accepting artwork for all future monthly exhibitions. To participate, artists purchase an Artist Submission Package at www.sixbysixgallery.com. There are two versions available: The standard submission package, which sells for $40, is housed in an eye-catching, gift-ready red gable box. It includes a six-inch square canvas, a brochure with all the instructions, packaging for the safe shipment of the artwork, and promotional postcards for the exhibit. For local New York artists there is a scaled down version of the submission package available for $20 that can be picked up in person at the gallery. The purchase of either gallery submission package guarantees the artist a one-month exhibition of their work at Six by Six Gallery.
