a commission of sales and some venues expect a donation.

CRITERIA FOR JUDGED/JURIED SHOWS |
|
|
1. The work will be evaluated using principals and
elements of design.
2. Work should reflect the individual artist's personal style; no copying or derivative
of another artist's work is allowed.
3. The work of the artists is expected to exhibit a significant level
of skill in:
A. Use of medium
B. Selection of quality materials
C. Application of technique
D. Presentation (framing, matting, etc.)
AWARDS
Award certificates (1st, 2nd, and 3rd plus 4-6 Honorable Mentions) will be awarded at exhibits where there
are entry fees and a judge. Only one award per member. Monetary awards will be given based on the number of entries
and the show expenses.
JUDGE/JUROR
The Judge/Juror shall be a well-qualified art professional.
The name of the judge/juror and the qualifications shall be published before the exhibit.
The Show Chairman or designee
shall be present during the judging.
DEFINITIONS
OPEN SHOW- All members (in
good standing) may submit work and all work will be hung, with the proviso that it is securely framed, in good taste
and the space can accomodate all the entries.
JURIED SHOW - A qualified juror will evaluate
work for content and excellence. This is a subjective process and work may be accepted or rejected solely based on the
personal taste of the Juror. Awards may be made.
JUDGED SHOW - A show where the judge
is hired to evaluate the work and award prizes. The only reason for elimination from these type shows is the space limitation
of the venue.
