Once again the Library Fine Art Exhibit, during Gold Rush Days, will be showcasing the talent

of the Members of the Wickenburg Art Center & Gallery!

Participation for this show is limited to Wickenburg Art Center (WAC) Members!

WAC reserves the right to reduce the number of pieces accepted for this exhibit due to space

considerations and to reject pieces deemed to be inappropriate for any reason by the Event

Chairperson(s). Show information and the Jurying entry form is available on the WAC website/ Library Fine Art Show.

Requirements:

Only two (2) artworks per artist will be considered. Entry fee is $20 for up to 2 entries.

Artwork must be the artist’s intellectual property and artists should be prepared to answer any

questions of ownership pertaining to the copyright of images used in their works. Both original

work and fine quality giclee prints will be accepted.

All art must be juried by digital images submitted through the WAC website. Each entry must

contain the name of the artist, the title of the piece, the dimensions of the work, (framed),

the medium, (oil, watercolor, wood carving, etc.) and the surface, (ie: canvas, paper, etc.)

Images must be taken of the piece without glass covering in the case of 2D works and must

have at least 2 images showing the front and back of 3D submissions. Images of 2D works

must be cropped properly and not shown with any framing. 3D works should be shown on a

solid, non-competing, (or distracting), background. *Note: because works will be juried based

on digital images it is very important that they be clear and a true representation of the work.

Works that differ greatly in their physical appearance than that of their submitted image may be

rejected. Works with damaged or dirty frames will be rejected. 2D works must be fitted with

picture wire for hanging. Works fitted with saw-tooth or other inadequate hanging hardware
will be rejected.
