Exhibition Rules
- Receiving hours: 10am to 2pm
- All entries for juried shows must be original works of the artist.
- Works previously exhibited at the Venice Art Center (VAC) cannot be exhibited a second time.
- Works more than three years old will not be accepted.
- No copies or Giclee prints will be accepted.
- Prints such as photographs, lithographs, woodcuts, engravings, etchings, screen prints, and digital art will be accepted as long as they are labeled as such and numbered as an edition.
- Two works will be the maximum accepted, with the exception of a triptych.
Entry Fees: Members $15 per piece or two pieces for $25; Non-members $25 per piece. Certain shows may have higher fees. Fees for work entered as a "diptych" will be $25 for Members and $40 for non-members. A "triptych" will cost $35 for Members and $60 for non-members. Entry fees are not refundable.
Framing: Maximum width/length is 60 inches including frame. A diptych or triptych is considered as one submission of art and cannot exceed 60 inches including frame. Glass will be accepted on pastels, charcoal, and graphite no larger than 20"x24" including frame. All other artwork must be covered in Plexiglas. Unframed canvases must be museum wrapped with painted edges. All paintings must be stoutly wired. Wire should be securely attached, without excess wire, and placed approximately 1/3 of the height down from the top of the piece. Ends of rough wire should be taped. We do not recommend plastic coated wire, as it tends to slip during hanging. Saw-toothed hangers are not accepted. Frames must be in good condition. Mats must be clean, well cut, and without scratches. Work submitted as a "diptych" or "triptych" must be identically framed. Special hanging requests may not be honored.
Sculpture: All bases must be securely fastened to the work. Use of Venice Art Center pedestals is preferred.
Jewelry: All jewelry submitted must be on the artist's display stand or form.
Sales: A 35% commission will be charged by Venice Art Center. Sales resulting from referrals will earn a 15% commission.
Awards: Winners will be notified by phone. Winners or their representatives must be present to accept their award or moneys will revert to the Venice Art Center. Venice Art Center instructors are not eligible for prize awards during the "Members Only" shows.
Judging: The judge is solely responsible for all work selected for all awards given. All artists whose work has been eliminated by the judge will be notified by phone or mail.
Pick-up: All work must be picked up on the designated pick up date. A charge of $2 per day per item will be enforced if not picked up on the designated date. Work remaining in storage after one month becomes the property of Venice Art Center.
Withdrawal: No work accepted for an exhibit may be substituted, nor will any work be permitted to be withdrawn during an exhibit except for extreme extenuating circumstances with the approval of the Executive Director.
Responsibilities: All work will be handled with the greatest of care by Venice Art Center, but the artists understand that the Art Center cannot be responsible for loss or damage. All work will be hung at the discretion of the Exhibition Committee.
Release: All entries accepted for exhibition are eligible for publication in Venice Art Center promotional materials. |
