Focus On Figures

North River Arts Society is accepting submissions for an exhibition. Artists may submit up to 5 pieces, with a maximum of 2 pieces per artist accepted. Entry fees are $25 for the first entry and $10 for each additional entry (up to 5 total). Membership is not required.

All forms of artwork are eligible. Artwork must be originally created by the artist and not derived from published works, photographs, or other artists' work. Work previously exhibited in North River Arts exhibitions is not eligible. Artwork completed during workshops or classes cannot be submitted. No size restrictions apply, though artists with very large or heavy pieces should contact the organization before submitting. Work does not need to be for sale. All 2D work must be framed or gallery wrapped with finished edges and wired for hanging; sawtooth hangers are not permitted. Sculptors must provide their own pedestals.

Submissions must be high-quality JPEG files at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge, with a maximum file size of 30 MB. Images should be cropped to show only the artwork without matting, frames, or background. Ensure correct orientation before uploading. Awards include Best in Show ($250 plus ribbon), Second Place ($100 Gift Card to NRAS plus ribbon), Third Place (ribbon), and five Honorable Mentions (ribbon). Entry deadline is February 25, 2025.
