• 3-D Artworks (Three-Dimensional Artworks)
• Printmaking, Photography (Traditional & Digital).

• Submitted artwork must be original, completed within the last two years without instructor supervision (for example, set assignments within a classroom are not acceptable; work that students create as personal projects without direct supervision or guidance *are* acceptable). Works that need assistance with fabrication such as ceramics in a kiln or bronze-casting are also acceptable.
• Work previously accepted into the 125 Show or THE ARTS gallery is ineligible.
• Works must not be copies of another artist's work (including photographs).
• Reproductions of original works through computer-generated, photographic, or offset-printing are ineligible.
• PAA reserves the right to reject any work not meeting eligibility requirements or deemed inappropriate to hang in the gallery, even after the image has been accepted by jurors and delivered to the gallery.

Sizes

• Maximum frame size 50 x 50 inches in either dimension.
• A diptych or triptych must be framed in single frame or ready to hang as a group, and meet the 50 inch maximum.
• Sculpture must be no larger than 4 x 4 feet

Hanging

• All wall-hanging works must be wired with screw eyes or D-rings, ready to hang, with backing. The gallery is unable to hang works with saw tooth hangers.
• Paintings with loose or damaged frames will not be accepted. Keep the frame simple and lightweight.
• Canvasses with staples visible along the sides will not be accepted; these works must be framed.
• The college has plinths available upon which to display three-dimensional works, and also a ceiling grid from which to hang works in the center of the space. Specific details can be discussed if accepted into the show.

Sales
•    All sales from this show will be handled through the Plano Art Association. No commission is taken by the Gallery or the Plano Art Association; as a non-profit organization, the PAA does request a volunteer 15% donation in the event of a sale from the show. The artist is liable for arranging payment of sales tax.
