 How do I properly wire a canvas?

Some people use the great hack of gluing wire with E6000 when the back is an alternative surface. Another option when we’re accepting 3D work is to provide an easel (labeled with your name for return) and  we’ll display the piece on a table or pedestal.

Newer option – It’s okay to have work that is not wired IF IT’S LIGHTWEIGHT and can be hung securely by resting on tacks.

If you have another way that is secure and IS NOT any of the following: sawtooth hanger, keyhole, *taped on, or weakly stapled, go for it. *It is okay to bring work in mat, it must have an adhesive hang tab with a hole in it. Only matted without frame work may be hung with these tabs since that work is lightweight and shallow. This year you may also use Command strips if your work is flat enough to contact the wall along the entire surface of the strip. You must supply the full set attached and ready to go with only the wall-side needing to be peeled.

How should 3D work be prepared?

3D work should be stable with wide enough footing that it isn’t easily tipped. It should stay within the dimensions listed in the Call for Submissions or Artist Guidelines. It’s also important to make sure the piece is not likely to unwittingly injure a person.

May I use a pseudonym?

Yes, you may. You’ll fill out your own show cards with the pseudonym, and our payout inventory form will ask for legal payout methods.
