Photos should be taken in a well-lit place, and as straight on as possible, omitting frame or extra items around the room.

 

Delivery Service - Subject to interest we will be offering a delivery service to transport your art work to the gallery. Please communicate in your submission email if you are interested in having this service. Dates and other details will be provided to interested artists.

​

Required Specifications - TWO works may be submitted.  If more than one work is submitted, limitations will be based on space, not on a value judgement. If you are submitting more than one work, please indicate on your submission form which is your preferred artwork to exhibit in the event that we have to reduce the number of entries.  WASM will make best efforts to honor that choice. At least ONE work is guaranteed to be exhibited, provided that it conforms with the following requirements:

​

• Size -

  • 2-dimensional works must be a MAXIMUM of 4 (feet) x 5 (feet) excluding frame (48 x 60 inches)

  • 3-dimensional works must be a MAXIMUM of 24 inches W x 48 inches H x 24 inches D 

• Content - There is no restriction on content with the exception of: works that promote hate, hate speech, or intolerance, or incite others to violence. The WASM reserves the right to make a determining judgement on the acceptability of the content.

• Label - artist name, title of work, medium, size, and price must be written on a label and adhered to the back of each work.

• Wiring - Each painting must be appropriately wired along with finished edges (any other hanging system cannot be accommodated).

• Unframed Art - All edges of unframed canvases must have finished edges.

• Signature - Sign art on the back (or underside if 3 dimensional) of each piece for anonymity during judging. If the signature is on the front it will be covered with a removeable sticker.

 

WASM reserves the right to refuse any work not prope​rly presented.
