ENTRY REGISTRATION FORM

 

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.  Art from kits or molds will not be accepted.

  • All 2-D 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. At the discretion of the Art Show staff, unframed paintings on stretched canvas may be accepted, but only when sides are painted with no staples showing.

  • 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 or YOUTH IDENTIFICATION CARD 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. 1. Adult artist and individual youth art can obtain their form at the fair website or by contacting the superintendents of the Art Show. The deadline for submission of individual entry forms is Noon September 23rd, 2010. REGISTRATION FORM (click here). 2. Teachers submitting student work can obtain the form by clicking here.

  • Under no circumstances can artwork leave the exhibit prior to pick-up time on Sunday, October 3rd 2010
