DURANTE GALLERY ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

DIMENSIONS	2-D entries must not be more than 54” in any dimension, including frame. Prior clearance for acceptance of 3-D entries weighing over 40 lbs. and/or measuring over 54” in any single dimension must be made with the Exhibit Chair.
FRAMES	Frames must be firmly secured with all corners tight, no spaces or loose areas, no chips. All frames over 22x28 should use Plexiglas. All frames must be wired securely and be completely ready in all ways for hanging or display. Wire must not slip or be visible beyond the frame when hung. Saw-toothed hangars and clips without frames are not acceptable.
MATS	In order to maintain uniform exhibition gallery standards, mats should be white, off-white, neutral, black, silver, or gold. All mats must be clean.
JEWELRY	Jewelry items submitted to shows may not have as part of their design manufactured components. For example: chains are not acceptable, but Omega clips are. Where there is a question, our Exhibit Chair will determine what is acceptable.
PRINTS, ETCHINGS, BLOCK	All prints - lithographs, serigraphs, etchings, wood or linoleum blocks, etc., must be hand pulled and signed by the artist. Reproductions are not acceptable for exhibition.
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS	Entries must be dry. Entries must have been completed within the previous three years, with the exception of sculpture, which must have been completed within the previous five years. LBKCA shall have permission to photograph and reproduce, for publicity purposes only, any work of art offered for exhibition.
ELIGIBILITY	Work previously exhibited in LBKCA juried shows, the Members’ Gallery or the Gift Gallery is not eligible. Work shown in invitational or rented exhibitions is eligible for submission. LBKCA does not warrant to accept or to exhibit every work submitted and reserves the right to reject any work offered for exhibit or otherwise.
ORIGINALITY	Entries must be the original work of the artist. Reproductions, giclee prints, copies of art work or work done from published pictures, drawings or photos are not acceptable for exhibition. If there is uncertainty concerning whether an entry is as stated (e.g., giclee where alleged to be a unique piece), a representative of LBKCA will inquire of the artist and if eligibility remains uncertain make a considered judgment as to eligibility.
CLASS WORK	For work done in class, instructor involvement must be limited to offering design and technical information. Any work which has hands-on instructor involvement is considered a shared project and will be disqualified.
STUDENT SHOWS	For Student Shows only, in studios where demonstration on equipment is necessary (jewelry, photography), limited hands-on instructor involvement may be acceptable. The instructor must sign the student’s entry form to verify that the student’s work meets requirements. Refer to guidelines that will be given out in class prior to the Student Show.
NO REFUNDS	No refund of entry fees will be made. Once accepted, no substitutions or withdrawals will be permitted during an exhibition except in a most extenuating circumstance and then only with the approval of the Exhibit Chair.
AWARDS	Winners or their representatives should be present to receive awards or alternate arrangements must be made. After winners have been announced, if a determination is made by the Chair that a work is not in compliance with any of the Entry Requirements, that work will be disqualified and an alternate winner may be selected.
PICK-UP	Entries must be entered and picked up by announced dates and times. Artists should bring their entry form copy when picking up work. Unless prior arrangements have been made, work remaining in storage after one month from the designated pick-up date will become the property of LBKCA.
SALES	All work is offered for sale unless marked NFS. No POR accepted. The Center will receive a commission of 35% of the sales price of any work of art displayed in the gallery. Payments will be mailed within the first two weeks of the following month.
All entries will be handled with care, however, LBKCA will not be responsible for loss or damage by any cause, and all work is received subject to this condition and all other rules set forth above.
