All Members Can Exhibit.
Show Your Work at SVAC!
Members are welcome to bring one or two works for each exhibit. There is no size limit on works submitted, but if your work is very large please call ahead so we can prepare for help with hanging.
We also love to see new work! Please try to bring un-shown pieces as often as possible!
Exhibition Requirements: All work must be ready to hang or able to stand freely on its own. What does this mean? Ready to hang: All works must be framed, or have finished edges. There must be screw eyes or d-rings in the back of frames for safe hanging. One on each side approximately 1/4 of the way down is perfect. If you have any questions at all about our requirements, please call the Center. Our hanging system requires a wire on the back of the art! Sculptures must be able to stand on their own. We have a variety of sculpture stands available for use but we do not have acrylic boxes for protection.
Exhibits are hung by a committee on the Thursday preceding the first Saturday of the month. All works must be checked in by Wednesday to be hung. There is a committee member available to help with the check-in process.
There is no entry fee for member’s shows, except for the big Member’s Judged Show in June and July. This show is in June and July. Members are encouraged to bring one or two works for exhibit in the show. All members with current dues are eligible. There is an entry fee of $20 per piece, or you may bring two pieces for $30. This show has no theme or size restrictions. After the show has been hung, and before the works are marked with identifying information (such as price tags) a judge comes in to pick the winners. Awards are cash prizes and the amount is determined by the number of entries. It is important to note that judging is always subjective and we do not guide the decision making process.
