Upload quality images of your art
You MUST provide and upload high-quality images of your work. Make sure there are no shadows, reflections on the paintings & drawings. You MUST save the image as Your name_painting name_medium_size.jpg We will use these for our website. Here is info on taking proper photos.
Do I need to frame my art?
It is mandatory for all 2D work to have suitable wire and screws for hanging.(Wire must be heavy enough to support the art.) Drawings must be mounted onto poster board or foam core 1" bigger on all sides. This is so the drawing can be hung for display without damaging the work.
