The Art Guild invites all artists, high school and older, to submit artworks for consideration for “ORANGE YOU GLAD IT’S AUTUMN”, a Juried Competition and Exhibition.
The air is getting crisper as the days get shorter ushering in Autumn. We invite artists to submit work that epitomizes the changing season. Is it color scenery, a memory or objects that recall this cycle of change?
CRITERIA All styles from non-objective to abstracted realism are welcome. All works must be original and have been created in the last five years. References used in the creation of the submitted work must be the artist’s own, or copyright-released for use in this work. Works previously exhibited at The Art Guild Gallery will not be considered.
MEDIUMS: Included but not limited to acrylic, charcoal, collage, colored pencil, digital art, ink, mixed media, oil, pastel, pencil, photography, printmaking, sculpture, or watercolor. No Copies, Master Copies, Reproductions or Giclees.
SIZE AND FRAMING: Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side. Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame (not the backboard). Gallery wraps are acceptable, but they must be a least 1” thick with all edges painted and no staples showing. No saw tooth hangers, tape or string on the back. Work must be labeled with artist’s name, phone number and email address.
Framing of your work must comply with the above OR IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
