Artists whose works are accepted by image will be notified about when to ship their artwork (most likely early May). Works accepted for personal inspection by the juror may be withheld from the exhibition at the juror's discretion. The juror's decision is final. Most artworks selected will be included in Arthouse's Art On Tour program and will travel for 24 months to museums and university and community art galleries in Texas. Artwork valued at more than $3000 may not participate in the tour. Arthouse will publish an illustrated catalog; 5 complimentary copies will be sent to all accepted artists. Works must be packed properly for future shipping and touring. Arthouse is responsible for returning works pre-paid to the artist at the conclusion of the exhibition tour or if the work is not selected after being viewed by the juror.
