Guidelines for the NAA/PCG Juried Exhibit:

• NAA members in good standing with all dues paid are eligible to participate.
• Participants may only submit original work that has been completed within the last three years and never exhibited in an NAA show.
• Any work accepted for exhibition may not be removed or exchanged during the duration of the exhibit.
• Work must be framed and ready to hang with wires and screws. Saw tooth hangers may not be used.
• Works on paper and smearable mediums such as charcoal and pastels must be protected under glass or Plexi‐ glass.
• Size limit for outside dimensions on longest side: no greater than 60 inches.
• For framed artwork larger than 24” on the longest side, glass may not be used. Instead, members must use Plexiglas or comparable “acrylic glass.” Pastels are excepted.
• Mats must be white, off white, gray, or other neutral tones. Frames should be neutral colors (white, black, silver, gold, wood).
• Unframed stretched canvases must have the sides painted or otherwise finished to be integral to the work, and must be DRY.
• All visual art media is accepted, including photography, sculpture, ceramics, fiber and jewelry.
• The NAA will disqualify any work which is not ready to hang when it arrives at the gallery.
• Participating artists must be available to deliver and pick up selected work on the dates listed or be able to make alternative arrangements. The NAA will provide transport of accepted work to the gallery, if artists cannot.
• Images should be submitted as jpegs. They should be no larger than 3MB, and at least 1,000 pixels on the longest side.
• Images may be submitted from Monday, January 18, 2021 at 9 a.m. through Friday, March 1, 2021 at 11:59 p.m.

Notification of accepted entries will occur on Friday, March 12, 2021 after 6 p.m. by email and posted on the NAA website, newtonartassociation.com. Non-email artists will be notified of acceptance by phone or regular mail. Attached to the email and enclosed in regular mail, will be a Drop Off checklist including a waiver of liability for the NAA/PCG which needs to be signed and brought to drop-off.

Procedures and requirements for participants:

1. Submit application online.
2. Submit an exhibition fee of $25 for the first image and $5 for each additional image, up to five (for example: one image costs $25; two images, $30; three images, $35; four images, $40; and five images, $45), payable online by PayPal and credit card; or check made out to NAA. Checks mailed to Mark Chadbourne, 691 Hammond Street, Chestnut Hill, MA 02467.
3. When submitting images online, carefully follow the instructions for uploading your images. Each jpeg image file must be labeled in this format: Artist Last Name and Title. Please do not leave spaces between words in image file name. For example: VarnumAbstract.jpg. Leaving spaces in the image file name will cause the image to be rejected by the upload system. The other information: Title; Medium; Dimensions; and Price will be required on the Image Upload page before you are able to upload the image.
4. When accepted, label back of artwork with Artist name, Title, Media, and Price.
5. Drop off work at the scheduled date and time.
6. Pick up art promptly at the scheduled date and time or make arrangements for someone to pick it up on your behalf. No storage space is provided.

Publicity:
Once artists have been accepted into the exhibit, images of their work will be used for publicity by both the NAA and PCG. Your images will be shared with NAA member Vartus Varadian and Barbara Selwyn who have volunteered to provide publicity for the exhibit.
