Art Dimensions / Framing: Canvas art should be no larger than 24 x 30 inches. Art must be framed or canvas painted on the edges; no staples may show (may be taped/painted). Art and frame must be in good condition. Art must have a wire on the back of the frame/canvas and be ready for hanging with the hanging system. Make the wire on your artwork fairly taut and 1/4 to 1/3 from the top of the piece. Please twist or tape over raw wire ends to protect those hanging your art. FAC will handle the artwork labels. Please include a brief description of your artwork, artist statement, price for purchase (if applicable) and payment link (if applicable) in your application for the label and catalog.
Art Quality: All artwork must be original. Digital art is acceptable but AI generated art is not. Art must be family-friendly and acceptable for viewing by all ages. The committee may reject the display of some artwork for any reason and at its discretion.
Sales: FAC will NOT be taking a commission on artwork sales and neither the location nor FAC will make sales or collect money. If the artist chooses to make art available for sale, they must include their contact information/website/link/QR code with clear instructions to handle their own sales. Generally, art is to remain until the end of the show, but if the buyer would like the art immediately, be prepared to replace the art with another work similar in size.
Art Delivery and Pickup: Artist or artist’s representative must deliver the artwork to the location at the designated date and time. On closing date, the artist or representative must pick up artwork or make arrangements no later than 72 hours in advance for FAC to take down on their behalf and store the work until the artist can pick it up. FAC takes no responsibility for the art.
