Page! 2 of! 7 Selection Process: Selection of works will be made by the MSA Jury Panel. The number of pieces accepted for each show will be determined by the Jury Panel and/or the Curator. Once a selection has been made the exhibitor will be contacted via email if they have been accepted into the show. All forms and mediums of hanging artwork are accepted, but framed works are preferred. All work must be ready to hang with adequate wire on the back. Gallery canvases must have all visible edges presentably finished. Watercolours, drawings and original prints and all other works on paper must be under glass with suitable frame brackets (no gallery clips). Hanging: Intake and pickup will be on a Sunday 8AM (date and time may change, the Curator will confirm details in advance). Hanging is on the same day as the intake and pickup. Transportation of the artwork is the responsibility of the artist. The Artist, Exhibitor or their appointee must be present during the hanging to assist. Labels supplied will be securely attached to the back of the artwork. Display tags will be created by MSA. Sales: All work must be for sale. Any work sold must remain until the end of the Exhibit.

For alternate arrangements, any risk or cost is borne by the purchaser. Purchasers will require their receipt to indicate proof of purchase before artwork is released. Storage of Art: Neither MCCC nor MSA have storage space for the artist s/exhibitor s work either before or after exhibitions.
