    –Paintings, photographs, prints, drawings, and similar two-dimensional works

    • All artwork must be presented ready-to-hang, with a wire attached to the frame. Wires should be
    placed between one third and one quarter of the way down the sides of the piece, and should not show
    above the painting when hanging. Please do not use saw-tooth hangers.
    • Artwork must not touch the glass. “Snap on” frames, corner clips with glass, or “easel” frames
    designed for tabletop use are not appropriate.
    Canvas
    • Framed stretch canvas requires no glass as the canvas needs to breathe. The frame may be backed
    with a dust cover and/or moisture barrier.
    • Oils and acrylics on heavy duty stretchers with a 1 ½” or more gallery wrap do not need to be framed however, the
    canvas should be stapled on the back and the edges should be painted or finished.

    curtain rods or similar hardware. All work MUST be labeled clearly on the back with name of artist, title of the piece, date, medium, and price.
