Hanging Requirements

Our volunteer installation team handles submissions with great care. Please make sure that your work is properly prepared for presentation.

 

• Art to be hung on the wall must have a hanging system that is in working order: Wire, sawtooth hanging hardware, D-rings, or similar, which is securely anchored into the frame and can handle the weight of the piece. We cannot guarantee the safety of submissions having cardboard backs with a foldable hanging feature, adhesive-backed hangers, or any other aspect of the presentation feature which is unstable. If we cannot display a piece safely it will be excluded from the exhibit. 
  ​

• All artwork must be completely dry and ready prior to drop-off.
   

• Regarding jewelry, ceramics, sculptures, etc: Our presentation fixtures are limited - artists are welcome to submit their own if they choose. If artists choose to provide a display please ensure it is labeled with your contact details, the title/description of the item it will display, and whether it accompanies the art when sold.

 

• All works must be labeled on the back, left corner - containing the artist's name, the work's title, media, dimensions, and price (price not applicable for fundraiser events).
