Original Art: An artwork is original when it is the artist’s idea, executed and designed by the artist. This means, if the reference was from a photo, the artist took the photo. It cannot be from the Internet, a photo in a calendar, or another person’s photo because they are not our photos and thedesign is not ours. The painting may not be done in any class,from a teacher’s example, or any step-by-step instruction.Any artwork created in class is not considered original. Composition is as important as the execution of the work. A judge looks for how well the artwork is painted, drawn, and designed. The design is the foundation that holds the artwork together drawing the viewer’s attention.You cannot make someone else’s image your own. The work must be your own from start to finish. Receiving/Removal of Artwork: Many members do not realise the delicate and complicated arrangements we make with the space where exhibits are held. If the time for Receiving or Pick-up of art work is impossible for a member, you must contact us to make alternate arrangements (either have someone bring your painting to the exhibition site or take your painting home). You must receive confirmation from us about any receiving or pick-up changes ( do not just assume it is ok). If prior arrangements are not done in writing by both parties the artist will be charged a storage fee, as indicated on the prospectus.
