One image must be high resolution (300 dpi) for the catalog.

The majority of work on display must be original. A limited amount of manufactured work (prints, cards, giclées, etc.) may be offered for sale only if created strictly from the artist's original design and produced under the artist's supervision. All artists are expected to volunteer and help distribute catalogs. Artists are responsible for obtaining appropriate business licensing, California resale certificates, and liability insurance for their location.
