Fine art / 3D or sculpture must have its own pedestal.

The term 'original art' encompasses paintings, photography, fiber art and sculpture.


• ALL artwork exhibited must be for sale.
• MWA is not responsible for theft or damage of works and crafts exhibited

 

Hanging Work: 2 original pieces. See sizes above. Notify the exhibit chair if you plan to exhibit art at a date specified.
You will need to sign up for three job shifts to make the show possible.
