Two-dimensional works may not exceed 50 inches in any direction and must be framed with a securely attached wire for hanging. Three-dimensional works (sculpture, ceramics, glass, etc.) may not exceed 60 inches in any direction or 75 pounds in weight. Works must have been executed within the two years since May 2022. Works previously exhibited at the MCCC Gallery are not eligible. Entry fees are $15 for the first piece, $5 for a second piece, and $5 for a third piece.
