JURY NOTIFICATION:
Results will be sent via email by Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2015.
Acceptance message will include a pdf attachment providing painting labels and forms, which you will need to print and complete, plus detailed instructions regarding framing, delivery, shipping and handling.
MINIMUM/MAXIMUM DIMENSIONS:
• Minimum painting dimension: 8˝ x 10˝ (or 80 sq. in.)
• Maximum frame dimension: 48˝ in either direction
FRAMING REQUIREMENTS:
• Work must be sturdily framed and ready to hang, with strong screws and wire.
• Hanging wire must be affixed so that it peaks 3½˝ below
the top of the frame when under stress.
This is extremely important, because of the hanging system used at EXPO New Mexico. Failure to place your wire correctly may result in your painting(s) not being hung in the show.
• No name plaques on the front of the frame or mat, and no signed mats.
• No metal frames will be accepted.
• Use glass or Plexiglas when framing your paintings. For shipped paintings of 850 sq. in. or larger, Plexiglas is recommended. Some artists have used varnish finishes that make a covering unnecessary, but we strongly discourage this for any shipped work.
