About Gallery Saintonge:
In 2002, Neil and Jeanne Chaput de Saintonge opened Gallery Saintonge. Having started Rocky Mountain School of Photography in 1988, a professional and technical photography school located in Missoula, Montana, the gallery was a natural extension of their beloved medium. Exhibiting contemporary, as well as historical and traditional work, Gallery Saintonge is dedicated exclusively to photography and photographic media.

Notification:

All applicants will be notified.
With this notification will be further instructions for accepted work in regards to shipping, framing and other details. Submission materials will be returned after this date.
Exhibit work (applies to accepted work only):
The gallery strives for an eclectic and cohesive exhibition. Uniform framing is less distracting than with many different colors and framing styles. Accepted work will be framed by Gallery Saintonge with black, metal, Neilsen frames for gallery exhibition. At the same time, the gallery recognizes
that some work incorporates “framing” as an integral part of presentation. If this applies to your work, please contact the gallery as exceptions can be made.
Otherwise, Gallery Saintonge will require accepted work adhere to the following:
If matted, white or off-white professional quality mats.
Work to be framed must be matted, or otherwise prepared, to standard side lengths. (Ex. sides of 11, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20… inches)
Framed dimensions not exceeding 32 x 40 inches.
* Exceptions to these criteria can be arranged per discussion with gallery personnel.
Note:
Artist pays shipping and handling costs.
Gallery Saintonge reserves the right to disqualify work if the printed image quality is obviously poor or inconsistent with the image that was submitted for jurying.
