ELIGIBILITY
Artists who are current members of the Womens Caucus for Art, Peninsula Chapter. **Please note, your membership must be current and will be verified before acceptance into the show. To enjoy extended membership through 2022 send $70 via PayPal to [email protected].

IMPORTANT:
To adhere to the theme/concept and also accommodate the possibility of eventual travel of the exhibition there are many parameters to the creation of your artwork that need to be adhered to. Be sure to read and follow this very carefully and thoroughly to avoid your work being disqualified.

SPECIFICATIONS:

1) Each artwork to be on the required 24x30 (HORIZONTAL) cradled wood panel by American Easel, which can be purchased at California Art Supply in San Mateo, FLAX in San Francisco or Oakland, direct from the manufacturer or other suppliers online. Mention your WCA membership for a 10% discount at Cal Art Supply. *The panels carried in the store are unprimed wood. Pre-primed and water media primed surfaces can be special-ordered. No other brand of panels can be substituted.

2) To maintain visual cohesiveness across the gallery:

a) No part of the panel is to be altered in any way that may compromise its integrity.

b) Edges of the panel shall be left as unpainted/unstained wood with no alterations and sealed with a water-based clear satin varnish.

c) Do not attach glass or plexiglass. The front surface needs to be varnished or sprayed for durability if media is not waterproof on its own. Precautions will be taken, although you are ultimately responsible for sealing and protecting your work.

3) Nothing shall protrude from the 24x30 substrate more than 3/4 inch.

4) Nothing shall extend beyond the 24x30 surface plane (could fit into a 24x30 frame.)

5) All artwork is to be professionally presented (no loosely attached elements, etc.) All artwork is to be completely dry and cured.

6) DO NOT install hanging hardware. Committee members will install hanging hardware on the back of the panels. All precautions will be taken to avoid any harm to the artwork.

7) A show label will be provided. The top left corner of the back of the artwork must be left blank for application.

8) Art must be suitable for people of many cultures, nationalities and all ages. Work deemed unsuitable will not be exhibited.

9) No giclee prints unless part of mixed media.

10) The minimum price of artwork for sale is $1800. Photographic prints in an edition of 10 or less are to be priced at a minimum of $500.

11) Further limitations may be implemented if deemed necessary for uniformity or otherwise.

OTHER: The curator reserves the right to refuse artwork that doesn't meet the stated criteria. Twin Pines does not carry insurance for your artwork; that is the responsibility of the artist.

SUBMISSION
Images of your artwork must be uploaded and payments be made through PayPal. Suggested image size is 1280 x 960 at 300 ppi .jpg preferred.

NON-REFUNDABLE ENTRY FEE
Payment of $25 per entry. An entry consists of one to three artworks. One entry per person is allowed. Enter all of your pieces at once to avoid being charged twice. Credit card payment through Paypal only using entrythingy. You do not need a Paypal account to pay through Paypal. The curator has the discretion on the final number of entries depending on the response.

SALE OF ARTWORK
Wall labels will include Artist's contact info. Arrangements for a sale will take place between the artist and the buyer. All artwork must remain on display through the end of the exhibition. Let the curator know if the piece has been sold so she can note it as such. Artwork can be NFS.
