NOTICES

Sales 
If your exhibited work is available for sale, state the price of each work.  All sales from this show will be handled through the Plano Art Association, and a commission of 30% will be retained by the Plano Art Association. The cost and arrangements for the shipment, delivery, or pick up of any work sold during the show is the sole responsibility of the artist. 

Shipping and Handling
The Plano Art Association does not handle shipping or pay shipping expenses, either of works to be delivered to the show or sold or unsold works to be picked up after the show has officially ended. NO COMMERCIAL THIRD PARTY SHIPMENTS OR DELIVERIES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Please contact PAA at adminexec@planoartassociation.org if you cannot pick up your artwork yourself and need to arrange for someone else to pick it up for you. You must notify PAA in writing (an email is acceptable) to inform us to whom we should release the art.

MISCELLANEOUS 
Submitted artwork must be original and not entered in a previous 125 Show. All work that is selected and hung in the show must remain in the exhibit until the exhibit ends and art is scheduled to be picked up. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Because Eisemann Center is a family-friendly venue, we will not be accepting works that include nude figurative subject matter.

Works must not be copies of another artist's work (including photographs). 

PAA reserves the right to reject any work not meeting eligibility requirements or not deemed appropriate to hang in the gallery, even after the image has been accepted by jurors and delivered to the gallery.
