Also, artists, please keep the following restrictions in mind when framing/finishing your piece:

·  Cannot exceed 48″ height x 48″ width (framed dimensions)

·  Must include a frame or mount of professional quality. (Clip frames and other temporary framing devices are NOT APPROPRIATE.)

·  Must be installation-ready with wire and hooks already attached to the back of the work.

Sculptural artists should provide a pedestal for their work (clean, and freshly painted white). If you do not have a pedestal, please contact Pepper.

·  Paintings on stretched canvas may be left unframed only under these conditions: if the edges of the canvas are painted as an integral part of the work or if the edges of the canvas have been neatly primed and do not contain staples.

·  Artwork with a fragile surface (pastel, charcoal, wet oil, etc) must be protected by Plexiglas

·  All other canvases, including those with unprimed edges, marks or staples, must be framed!

If you are a participating artist and would like to purchase a ticket to the Art Open Benefit, please contact Alyson in the CAC office!
