Art Show Rules
-
Only
original works by the entering artist will be accepted.
Any copy of the works of another artist, or of a picture or
photograph, which has appeared in print, and uses its composition or
essential art elements, is not considered original.
No work from kits, or molds will be accepted.
-
All
Pieces entered in Adult classes must be framed and
ready for hanging. (i.e., must have wire securely attached by screw eyes.)
Artwork with saw tooth hangers, string, or any other hangers
will not be accepted.
-
Entries
in Youth classes may be framed, but it is not required.
If art is framed, there should be a hanger on the back.
Hangers are no longer required on the back of unframed youth
artwork. Unframed
two-dimensional work must be securely mounted on poster paper
or heavy construction paper, preferably black (white or other colors
will still be accepted).
An ADULT
IDENTIFICATION CARD (click
here)
or YOUTH
IDENTIFICATION CARD (click here) must be attached
to the lower right hand corner. Identification
cards and Registration forms can be obtained on the web site. No other cards may be attached to the front of youth artwork.
-
All
work must be completed in the last two years and not
previously entered. Each
adult artist may enter two pieces per category.
All sculpture must be assembled and ready for display.
Adult photography must have an image size of 8 X 10 or larger.
There is no maximum size limit.
-
Generally, the election between
professional and amateur status will be left to the discretion of the
exhibitor. An individual
that holds a degree in art or teaches art should exhibit as a
professional. However,
the occasional sale of a work of art or the informal tutelage of
another should not justify exhibiting as a professional.
-
All
pottery will be entered in the Art Show instead of the Ceramics Dept.
-
Painted
furniture and decoupage will not be accepted in art.
-
Each
artist must submit a REGISTRATION
FORM (click here).
Registration forms (adult and youth) can be obtained on the fair
website www.sumterfair.com
or by contacting the superintendent of the Art Show. The deadline for submission of individual entry
forms is Noon September 25th, 2008.
-
All
youth entries should be accompanied by a signed Sumter Co. Fair Art
Show PARENTAL PERMISSION SLIP (click
here).
The
permission slips can be obtained on the Fair web site.
-
Under
no circumstances can artwork leave the exhibit prior to pick-up time
on Sunday, October 5th, 2008.
