You must first register for a drop off slot or we may not be there to accept work. The link to reserve your time is in the very first email you got, from submissions@97116artshow.com. Drop at Kathrin Cawein Gallery, 2043 College Way, Forest Grove, OR 97116 (2026 show)

Payouts:
You will specify which payout method during your Google Form inventory submission and choose from the following: PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, or Check, plus give the username / address for it.

We will need a lot of volunteer support to pull this off if you can help.

More information

1. Work must be displayed in any geometric format no larger than 12 x 12, even if framed. Squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles, pentagons, whatever.
2. Max 3 lbs and 6 inch depth for each hanging work. Test your hung work to make sure the weight or depth does not cause it to face downward unless that’s your intention. It will still need to remain within its max 12 x 12 x 6 boundary.
3. Delivered work must be ready to hang or display. (no taped on or stapled wire) Test wire strength by hanging the piece on your thumb and bouncing your hand a few times. Did it break loose from your frame or snap? It is okay to bring work in mat, it must have an adhesive hang tab with a hole in it and fit size requirements. ? This year you may also use Command strips if your work is flat enough to contact the wall 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. And we thank you because it will mean less patching and painting we have to do 🙂
4. 3D work limited to 12 x 12 x 12 and 10 lbs. Must be ready to display and not easily tipped.
5. No reproductions except for bin work and cards. Original photography, printed graphic design, video stills, hand pulled printmaking, etc. qualify as original work the same as other traditional mediums.

If you’re not sure how work is supposed to be displayed, check out the Artist Resources.

Poster consideration and Marketing!
If you already registered and have images of work that will be in the show and want to be considered for the poster, email them by Oct 25th to 97116artshow@gmail.com. For social media marketing @97116artshow in your Instagram posts, and add us as a collaborator.

Your very important artist number must be on all pieces. You will receive your artist number shortly after submissions close. Your sales will be processed through this number and each piece must have it on the back. You are welcome to let the labels serve the purpose on pieces large enough, otherwise add your number to a hang tag. Artist numbers won’t be assigned until after November 1st, after registration closes.

Labels (x 2 this year PLUS Fill out the Spreadsheet )
You will need your assigned artist number for your labels. We need one paper label securely affixed to the back or bottom of your work, and a full set filled, cut, and provided at drop-off so we can use them as show cards. You will also be emailed these Word and PDF documents for labels. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you. If your work is too small for affixing, securely tape it to a hang tag. Bin work needs labels too, but cards may have a sticker with artist name, artist number, and price. If there is room, you may also secure a business card to the back or bottom of your work.

Required Inventory

You cannot fill out the inventory sheet until you’ve been assigned an artist number, after November 1st, then complete this Google Form with all information in order for your work to be available for sale and insured while on display. Bin work and cards also need to be entered but if they are the same price you can do one form for bin work and one form for all cards.

Right to Refuse: 97116 Art Show and its volunteers reserve the right to refuse work that is not ready to display or does not meet size requirements. We also reserve the right to determine work is not suitable for general audiences.

 How do I properly wire a canvas?

or
https://youtu.be/LBnqLeEiI2k

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.
