A National Juried Exhibition
The Tubac Center of the Arts announces a new national juried exhibition of artwork and photography of or related to Southern Arizona. Entries may be in any medium but must be available for imaging at 5” x 7.” Twenty-four winning postcards artists will have their image produced in limited edition production run.
Artists are urged to enter work which is innovative in concept and approach, whether representational or abstract. Work must have been completed within the last
24 months. Work that has been previously displayed at TCA is not eligible. All work
must be the original creation of the artist.
Wish You Were Here is a national juried exhibition of art and photography of or related to Southern Arizona. The criteria is expansive. From the exhibition twenty-four individual images will be selected for limited edition postcards representing the area and area artists. Of all entries, approximately 60-65 pieces will be selected for exhibition. Each piece is eligible for awards and up to 24 pieces will be selected to represent southern Arizona in the Wish You Were Here limited postcard series. Each artist will receive 100 of these postcards.
While this exhibition focuses on the region, as always we encourage artists to take aesthetic risks and explorations. Artwork and photography should comfortably fit into 5” by 7” dimensions or factors of that (10” x 14”, 20” x 28”). Images from artwork that does not fit the dimensions may be slightly cropped for postcard production.

Artists agree to release use of images of accepted works to TCA as a permanent record of the exhibition, for promotional use relating to the exhibition and the Art Center, and to produce a limited edition postcard.
Accepted artists will be invited to submit a high resolution file of their exhibit image for consideration for use in print promotions including the exhibit postcard and the postcard contest and production. Once accepted, you may email a jpeg file that is at least 300 dpi to Exhibitions@TubacArts.org . Please include your last name and first initial along with the title in the name of the file. example: SmithJ_PaintingTitle.jpg
Giclee reproductions of photography are accepted but all artwork and photography must be original to the artist, executed in the last 36 months, and not previously shown at the Tubac Center of the Arts.
