PREPARATION OF ACCEPTED ARTWORK

We reserve the right to refuse paintings that do not comply with these parameters. The size and weight of work are limited to that which can be moved by one person. Any work that is hung must weigh less than 20 pounds and measure no larger than 36 X 36 without special approval. Unsuitable or damaged framing will be disqualified. Artwork must be appropriately framed or 1 1/4 inch or wider museum wrapped canvas and wired for hanging. Museum wrapped without frame must have finished edges. No art with sawtooth hangers will be accepted. Labels must be securely attached to the back or bottom of the art with the artist’s name, the title of the art, medium, price, and email address.  We prefer watercolor and pastels to be framed with plexiglass; any works larger than 12 X 16 must be framed with plexiglass.

LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY

Accepted entries must remain on exhibit for the duration of the show. All reasonable care will be taken with artwork. However, the Village of Evendale or volunteers cannot be held responsible for loss or damage. Artists who desire to insure their work need to make their own arrangements.

SALES

Artists are encouraged to offer their work for sale. Any work not priced will be marked “not for sale.” The ECAC will take a 10% processing fee for works sold via credit card through the Village of Evendale. The Village of Evendale takes no commission on sales where payment is made directly to the artist and is not responsible for taxes on works sold. Purchased artwork will remain a part of the exhibit until the close on Monday.

2022 JUROR - CHRISTOPHER B. WALDEN
We are pleased to announce Christopher B. Walden as our 2022 Evendale Fine Art Exhibit Juror! Chris, originally from Auckland New Zealand, came to the States in 1979 for what was supposed to be a 30 day tour. Thirty-six years later he is still here and in the meantime has become a nationally known wildlife artist.

He is an avid outdoorsman who likes to go fishing, be it in lakes and streams for trout or on a yacht trying to catch marlin and "kingies". He brought his passion of the outdoors to the States. His thirst for knowledge about these new environments and inhabitants inspired him to capture them in his paintings. Chris' very realistic style and his ability to capture life in the animal kingdom have endeared him to many collectors around the world.

Chris feels the need to give back to the lands and animals he paints by making sure that they are still around for many generations to come to enjoy. To accomplish this mission Chris has teamed up with several conservation groups in the US to lend his talents to help raise money and awareness to preserve the habitats that are in danger. Chris' involvement with groups such as Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation, Quail Unlimited, Ruffed Grouse Society, Pheasants Forever, The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and the Three Valley Trust Organization has given him the opportunity to share his artwork and his views on preservation with a wide group of people across the Country. Through donations of artwork in the past 30 years Chris has helped raise over 28 million dollars for conservation.

Combining his passion for creating art and protecting wildlife, Chris and his work reach a singular place. The artwork of Chris Walden vibrantly portrays the passion and beauty of the natural world. The untamed wildlife featured in his work evokes the mystery and turbulence of creation. Viewers are challenged to experience the essence of the natural world in it most raw form.
