Creating an Image List
This is an IMAGE LIST
When appling to a show or a gallery you may be expected to include an image list.
It is good to get into the practise of making an image list when applying to things and turning your work in. Why? Because you never know who you're turning your work in to. It maybe a person who doesn't know anything about art etiquette, or a professonal artist/ gallery owner. Whom ever it maybe, It is a good idea to get into this habit. The unfamilar person will have a list to keep track of your works and this will hopefully decrease the chance of any mix ups or mispelling for your works. It will also make you look more professional.
Turn in a seprate image list per show you are applying to. So if you where turning works into the same gallery but to two different shows, do not combine the works into one list, keep them seprate.
So if you had 3 works for a Summer 2021 show and 5 works for a Fall 2021 show, make two seprate image lists to turn in. Not one list with eight works on it. Unless otherwise told so.
Name Image List files
Last Name_Image List_Title of show you're applying/subitting work for
Mathews_image list_Summer 2021.pdf
Mathews_Image List_Fall 2021.pdf
It is always good to double check what are the pacific requirements a place has for turning in works.

Naming Images
It is also very imporant to get into the habit of naming your image files correctly.
