• Use a clean, neutral background and show only the artwork. Do not hold your work with hands showing or have your feet showing.
• Be sure to shoot your artwork straight on.
• Poor photography may negatively impact juror scores.

 NOTE:  Artwork created using AI will not be accepted.

NOTE: There are no dimension restrictions for the print exhibition, but Gravers Lane Gallery may consider dimensions when choosing artwork for the on-site exhibition.
