  • Do not submit Previously exhibited images

  • For juried work, once accepted, all work needs to be framed, wired and ready to hang   No sawtooth hooks.

  • Price and  contact information should be printed, not hand written, on the back of each piece.​​

      Framing guidelines:

  • Black frame, white mat, required for uniformity 

  • Print sizes recommended:    8 x 10, 11x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30.  

  • In a large venue, the larger the work the better. (suggest you put an 8 x 10 image in an 11x14 inch frame). 

  • Suggestion for Prices - Do your best to include the total cost of your frame, mat, hardware, printing and time spent framing it.

        NOTE: Many Galleries charge a hanging fee and require you pay a         percentage of your sale to them. So include these fees in your sale price.

  • Most venues, galleries and local cafés, are priced in the mid-range between $50.00 & $300. Some galleries may suggest you charge more.  Location of the venue and size of your image makes a difference.

  • Personal Biographies:  We will need your biography for the club's biography book that will be on display at the exhibit for guests to preview.  

  • Pick up and drop off will be announced - prior to hanging.  Same for take down. 

  • Receptions: to be announced. (Fees for refreshments will be collected from exhibitors).
