SHOW NOTES: Some exhibitions or shows require membership to enter and an extra fee may be involved in entering the show. Shipping is usually the responsibility of the artist. You must prepare or buy a reusable shipping box or container to safely ship your artwork. Use acrylic glazing instead of glass for framing your artwork. Here are some good tutorials showing you how to pack artwork for shipment: Oil Painters of America: How to Pack Art for Shipping, and Kansas Watercolor: Shipping Tips. Juried shows award prizes to winners that can include cash, art materials, and awards of excellence and merit. Read show prospectus carefully to understand your responsibilities.
