Guidelines for Paintings for Exhibitions

1) Paintings must be original watercolors and not a copy of another artist’s work.

2) Paintings must be “new” to WOW exhibits, meaning they have not been hung in a WOW exhibit before

3) Paintings must be least 80 percent watercolor.

Framing Standards

1) Frames must be professional looking and clean

2) Frames can be up to 4 inches wide and should complement the painting. Barn wood is allowed. Avoid garish/overdone frames that detract from the painting and exhibit.

3) Mats can be any color and width and should complement the painting.

4) Frame backings must be of foam core, a backer board or covered with paper.

5) Plexiglas is allowed but must be at least 1/8 inch thick.

8) Picture hanging wire should be securely attached to the back of the frame (no alligator teeth hangers, please)

Bin Art

1)      Bin art may be original art or copies of your original art

2)      Art for the bins should be clearly labeled, backed, and wrapped in clear bags or cellophane. Include price, artist information and whether the piece is the original or a copy

3)      Bin art need not be “new” to a WOW exhibit

Paintings not meeting these standards will not be hung.

WOW reserves the right to refuse any artworks deemed unsuitable for the venue. The Gallery Hanging Committee will have full and exclusive responsibility for such decisions, including number and quality of paintings. Questions may be directed in advance to the Gallery Hanging Committee.

Women of Watercolor is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage. Each painter must deliver and pick up her own paintings or must arrange for someone to do so on her behalf. Be sure to put identifying information on the back of each painting: Name, title of piece, phone, price.
