Naked Art is a gallery that focuses on functional art - i.e. art that serves more than an aesthetic purpose - the gallery also shows wall pieces by untraditional artists.

- Art is taken on consignment.
- No sculpture, unless it hangs on the wall.
- Artwork made with recycled materials is preferred.
- We show works created by emerging artists and try to keep our prices affordable to new collectors, so please make sure that this venue if right for you before applying.
- Because of a room issue:
. we now focus on Alabama and South-Eastern artists.
. wall-pieces-making-artists must be exclusive with our gallery in the greater Birmingham area.
. for functional art, we give priority to artists who will give us exclusivity in the greater Birmingham area.

We only take submissions through e-mail. Please send 6 jpegs to mail@nakedartusa.com
Please include medium, size and retail price for each piece, along with a short bio, or send us a link to your website (please e-mail us the above info if it is not available on your website).
- We look at all submissions, but will not be able to judge your work without all the above information.

If we decide that your artwork is right for the gallery's style, we will set up an appointment with you.
