Changes for the 2008 Season

• Collage will be accepted into the Graphics section of the shows. At the annual meeting, a motion was made by one of our Elected Artists, Debbie Flavin, to accept artistic collage into our shows. After discussion, it was agreed that collage could be accepted into the Graphics section of each show.
  
• Abstract (non-objective) Art will be accepted into the Member shows. Debbie made another motion to accept, on a trial basis, abstract work. Again after discussion, it was agreed that we would accept non-objective artwork as a trial in the member shows.
  
• Elected Artist Candidates will have three (3) years to be accepted into two (2) juried shows. In years past, the requirement was to have two (2) pieces of artwork accepted into a juried show within a two (2) year period. Since there is now one less juried show each year, it has been changed to require two (2) pieces accepted into a juried show within a three (3) year period. This keeps the number of juried show possibilities to six (6) juried shows.
  
• Small Wall Works will be limited to a canvas size of 80 square inches. Currently we required the complete framed piece to be no larger than 9" by 12" or total of 108". We are changing this to be image size no larger than 8" by 10" or 80 square inches. So the image could be 4" x 20" with a mat and a frame of 4" on each side. We are going to measure the image's size, not the frame size.
  
• Petite and Grande Sale. We are adding another opportunity for members. At the end of the season, we are going to have a three weekend sale for oversized and small works at the same time. So we would be looking for one entry that is larger than 30" x 40" up to 36" x 48", that would not be accepted in our normal shows. Or up to three (3) pieces with image sizes up to 80 square inches each. During this sale, the Paint-out and Auction will be held on the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend.
