Common Questions

  • I work in 3D can I still participate?
    • YES! please ensure your submission is self-standing and does not exceed 6 inches in any direction.
  • Should I put a wire on the back of my work?
    • Please do not. It makes it much easier to hang if there is no wire on the back of the canvas. 
  • I am too far away to come to the gallery, can I participate by shipping my work?
    • YES! Please work on a canvas that is 6" x 6" x 1.5" gallery wrapped and stapled on the back.
  • How will people know I made the artwork?
    • Please sign your work. We will create a label based on your submission slip when you return your artwork. 
    • We also encourage you to include your business card in the back of the work. 
  • Why are youth artwork not raffled off?
    • Based on feedback we have heard, youth artists would prefer to have their work returned. We do not want the risk of not getting their work back to limit their desire to participate in the exhibition.
    • Youth can choose to participate as an adult if they with their work to be raffle off.
  • I am an adult, can I get my artwork back?
    • The short answer is No. The long answer....Maybe. You can attempt to win back your piece by purchasing raffle tickets. And if no one puts a raffle ticket on your artwork we are happy to return your work.
