Presentation: At Art Works, all work needs to have a similar presentation. If framed, use a relatively thin black frame (floater or conventional), or, if gallery wrapped, the canvas needs to be at least 1 inch depth, and fully painted on the sides.
– All artwork must arrive wired with d-rings and ready to hang or professionally presented for display. Please tape or staple your name, title, price and contact information on the back. (Hint: when you register on MRAA’s call for entry, your response memo contains a paper label at the bottom. It’s perfect for attaching to the back of your art.)
