The way a work of art is framed is as important as the central imagery itself. We ask that our artists make the best artistic statement when framing.

Our hanging standard is simple:

• Hardware and hanging wire must be in place before delivering to the gallery
• Presentation must be appropriate for a professional setting.
• Items under glass or plexiglas must be clean and undamaged. 
• Frames and mats must be clean, professionally cut and undamaged.
• Works on canvas or canvas board must be framed if staples and unfinished edges show on sides. Canvas with finished edge does not require a frame, provided the sides are painted and part of the imagery.

Our judges apply their knowledge and experience and a suggested standard for show jurying and judging. Any or all of the below listed points may be used to judge a work of art:

• Artistic Sensitivity
• Technical Skill

• Popular Appeal

Any or all of the below listed points may be identified as a reason a work of art was juried out:
