Jury Process and Guidelines
Please read and follow the submission guidelines. Submissions with unlabeled photos, wrong framing, etc. may be rejected.
Titles will not be changed after submission. Please take your time when you submit your photos for jurying. If you are having technical problems, (can't upload photos or can't pay) contact wacwebmaster@icloud.com.
Jurying at Wickenburg Art Center will be done by show. All members may enter submissions for Wickenburg Art Center Gallery Shows via our web site. Jurors, who are WAC members, will choose the best pieces to fit the monthly shows. Due to space limitations in the main gallery, not all work can be accepted. Some work may not be appropriate for the theme of the show. If your work is not accepted, this is not a reflection on you.
Photo specifications will be included in the prospectus for each gallery show.
WAC will provide assistance to members, taking photos of work and assisting with entry of photos.
