Selection
Entries accepted for the show will be at the discretion of the PJCC
Community Art Show Selection Committee, who will have complete discretion as to the number of works to be exhibited and may eliminate any entry at any stage in the judging process. Any accepted works delivered that differ from the submitted images will be disqualified.
Publicity
Submission of art images constitutes an agreement to exhibit any selected works. The PJCC will have permission to photograph or reproduce any works in the exhibit, together with the artist’s name and picture, for publicity and reporting without compensation.
Sales and Commissions
All works of art must be available for sale. The PJCC receives a 20% commission on all works sold. Please keep in mind when pricing your entries, the selling price cannot be changed after entry. If a work is sold, the artist will receive the dollar value listed on the entry form less the PJCC’s commission. The PJCC does not guarantee sales.
Artwork must remain on display until the end of the exhibition, no work may be withdrawn during the show even it was sold.
Framing
All two-dimensional works must be delivered to the PJCC framed and ready to hang. Artwork on paper should be properly matted and framed (frame less than 2″ wide and plexiglass recommended).
Tapestry, wall hangings and some other mixed media entries do not require framing, but all works must arrive ready to hang. Dimensions listed on entry form (see Eligibility) must include framing.
To avoid damage of wall surface, D-rings are recommended as holders for wiring (avoid saw-tooth, clamps or screw eyes).
Liability
It is suggested that artists carry their own insurance. Every reasonable care will be taken in handling work, but no responsibility will be assumed by the PJCC for any loss or damage incurred in transit. Items will be insured for 80% of the dollar value written on entry form by the PJCC under its “allrisk” wall-to-wall policy.
Submission of work(s) constitutes agreement to terms and – conditions in this application.
