- Medium size 3D work can be displayed on pedestals provided by the artist or on one of the gallery pedestals (we have a limited number and size of pedestals – check with the gallery in advance.) Work cannot exceed 30 pounds and must be easily carried by gallery volunteers.
- Larger 3D work must be free-standing and be able to be displayed on the gallery floor. All larger work must fit through the gallery doors and must be easily moved by gallery volunteers.
- Display devices such as jewelry stands must be provided by the artist.
- If special display instructions are needed, such as for a diptych or triptych, artist must provide the instructions with the work. Volunteers will try to accommodate display requests.
- Information about the “Artful Antics” judge will be posted on the Norris website in October.
- Artists agree to allow NCAC to photograph and otherwise promote the artists and the exhibit in the Norris Gallery’s printed, online and social media formats.
