Association of Nebraska Art Clubs has a juried competition during their convention in June, and so our Guild may select 16 pieces to represent our club at the convention. Our pre-qualifing show will be at the LUX during the month of April. If you joined the Guild prior to the February 15th deadline this year, you are eligible to show your work. You may submit TWO pieces only and there is a size limit….40″ x 40″ including frame. We will again be accepting pieces on Thursday April 4 from 11 – 2 with hanging beginning at 2. Jim Miklavcic will be making the selections, but there is no monetary compensation or ribbons for this show, so there will be no entry fee. Please note that if your work is selected to be shown at the ANAC Convention in June, you will need to pay an entry fee to ANAC of $10 for each piece.
A review of the rules are as follows:
ANAC EXHIBIT RULES (REVISED FEB. 19, 2012)
READ RULES OVER CAREFULLY TO INSURE YOUR WORK WILL BE SEEN BY THE JUDGE.
Two-dimensional work shall not exceed 40 inches wide by 40 inches high. This includes the frame. All work must be properly framed or have exposed perimeter edges finished consistent with the art piece. Work must be ready for hanging (use screw eyes and wire. NO SAWTOOTHS) and must be framed using Plexiglas (except pastels). Gallery wrapped canvas is acceptable without a frame, but the canvas edges must be painted around the sides. Edges must be lapped and ALL STAPLES MUST BE COVERED. If chosen for the travel show, ANAC will provide the carry case. Any two dimensional artwork which has glass as a medium must provide a travel container with the same requirements as three dimensional art work.
Three-dimensional work (free standing or relief on the wall) shall not exceed 36” in any direction. It shall not exceed 75 pounds in weight including the weight of the packing box. A traveling container, (even if it hangs on the wall) which is of quality construction in proportion to your artwork is required. If upon inspection the exhibit board votes that the container is not of sufficient construction to withstand the rigors of travel the piece will NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR JUDGING. All 3-D shipping containers MUST REMAIN with the artwork until the judging is completed. All 3-d artists must provide a pedestal (if needed) for the conference show only
