Reminders:
  • Late deliveries will not be accepted. 
  • Check your artwork to ensure that hanging wires are TIGHT and frames/mats are in PRISTINE condition.  All hanging works need wires to work properly with our hanging system.
  • Unframed work that is on galley wrapped canvas that is 1" or wider on the edges must have a professional presentation that is neat and does not detract from the artwork.  No visible staples on canvases.  Edges painted. All art that is 3/4" on edges must be framed even if your edges are painted.
  • Ensure your name and title of the work is on the back of the panting or under 3D pieces.
  • The standards committee reserves the right to reject pieces for craft-issues, poor presentation (i.e., damaged frames) or if the delivered artwork differs significantly from the submission image.  Please put your best "professional artist" foot forward.
