Image Size Guidelines
We will be enforcing size guidelines, in order to give the shows a better look, and to avoid overcrowding. These sizes refer to the outside edges of the frame.
- 3 pieces 11 x 14 or smaller. If one of your 3 pieces is larger than 11x14, then you can only enter 2.
- 2 pieces are allowed if both are 30 x 30 or smaller.
- One piece if it's larger than 30 x 30, with maximum size of 40 x 40.
Sizes may be figured by adding two adjacent sides, so smallest no bigger than 25 (11+14), middle size 60 (30 + 30), and largest – when two sides are greater than 60 but not larger than 80 total.
Restrictions may vary from show to show. Refer to Standards for Exhibiting Artwork for restriction details of a show.
