or mounted with backing. All submissions that do not meet these requirements will
be considered at the discretion of the juror. Matted work must be securely mounted
with mats attached to work. Loose glass or Plexi may accompany work for L-pin installation.
Wet paintings or wet sculpture will NOT be accepted. Diptychs and triptychs will be
judged intact: individual parts will not be accepted without the inclusion of the
other(s). Charcoal and pastel drawings must be spray-fixed to prevent transfer; backs
of these works must be completely clean and they should be submitted with a clean
slip sheet covering the work.

submitted to gallery assistant.
