This is our Annual Awards Show and will be judged for ribbons. You may enter only one (1) work of art; CLEARLY MARKED FOR AWARD CONSIDERATION. The artwork must be original, created within the last 2 years and not shown at any other MWA show. No backup work is allowed for your awards submission. Your 2D or 3D piece must be no larger 30"x30” because of space considerations. Work must be professionally presented, sculpture must include an appropriate display pedestal.

*We are again encouraging exhibitors to submit an Artists Statement of 65 words or less with their awards show piece. This statement could explain your reason for selecting this piece, your inspiration for it or your process. Any information that will help assist the audience in making a connection with your piece would work. Submit your Artist Statement as well as title, medium and price of each piece submitted to: TBA.

NON-AWARD PORTION:

All 2D pieces must be professionally presented; 3D pieces must include a display pedestal provided by the artist.

Each member is allowed a total of a 30” x 30” exhibit space. If an awards piece and a non- awards piece are submitted, they must both fit in the 30”x30” allotted space. All work must be clearly tagged on the front and the back. Also indicate the piece to be judged. Contact Liz Roper of your intent to participate between Aug. 31 – Sep. 23 and Elizabeth Hurtubise to sign up to work the show.
