Exhibitor Information
All work must be framed and wired. No wet paintings will be accepted. Metal frames over 40 inches must have plexiglas rather than glass. All 2 dimensional works MUST have screw eyes (or the like) and wire across the back of the work. MAA has the right to reject work that does not comply with this. Work may not be longer than 42” on any one side and should weigh less than 30lbs. Due to the gallery exhibition space constraints of our antique mansion, 3D work must not be larger than what can fit on a 12×12 pedestal. The MAA may need to select only one piece due to space restrictions. There will be ballots available for visitors to cast votes for their favorite piece with a People’s Choice Award to be announced at the end of the exhibit.
