- Artwork must be suitable for display in a family-friendly venue. The Exhibit Committee will NOT accept artwork that is deemed vulgar, sexually provocative, graphically violent, or politically divisive.
- Artwork must be original. Copies of other artists’ work or published material are not acceptable. Photos may be used as source material for a painting if (a) you took the photo, (b) the photo is in the public domain (i.e., non-copyrighted), or (c) you have explicit permission from the photographer to use the photo. Artwork that you completed at a workshop is acceptable as long as you completed all the work yourself. MAA is not responsible for any legal action levied against a member for copyright violations.
- Artwork must be clean and dry.
- Wall-mounted artwork must have a wire hanger -- saw tooth hangers are not permitted!
- Drawings, watercolors, and photographs must be under glass or Plexiglas, or suitably mounted.
- Mats should be clean, well-cut, and made from appropriate matting materials.
- Two-dimensional artwork must be framed or gallery-wrapped. Frames must have no chips. Gallery-wrapped canvas must have painted sides with no nails or staples showing.
- Three-dimensional artwork, such as sculpture, ceramics, and textiles, must be prepared for exhibit.
- MAA may decline to display any artwork that does not meet its standards. These standards cover the professionalism, quality, size, and suitability of the work as well as adherence to the requirements of the show’s prospectus. If artwork is declined, the member will receive a rationale for the decision. The Exhibit Committee also acknowledges that most of MAA’s members are amateur artists. Upon request, the Committee may offer assistance or suggestions on creating artwork suitable for display.
