2D & 3D artwork. $25 entry fee per piece, can submit up to 2 pieces. Artwork must be for sale, with 40% of sale going to gallery. Piece must be ready to hang or display physically (will not display digital artwork unless it is printed and framed/mounted properly). "Ready to Hang" means hanging hardware is already attached - plain canvas without hanging wire is not "ready to hang". We will reject anything not ready to hang at drop off. Hanging wire preferred, no adhesive mounts, and must be able to hang from a hook or nail. We will also not accept any photographic work that depicts another artist's artwork without express permission from the artist to show and sell the photograph; this includes street art.
