NAA Guidelines for all shows:

  • This in-person exhibit is open to all Newton Art Association members. Each member may enter only one piece of artwork, along with an exhibition fee of $25.
  • Only 65 pieces will be displayed in the in-person show because of gallery redesign constraints.

  • Framed work with glass, larger than 24 inches must have Plexiglas for safety reasons.
  • There is a 20% commission taken by the NAA.
