HangingAll wall-hanging works must be outfitted with D-rings, ready to hang. The gallery is unable to accept or hang works not so equipped; in other words, NO wire or saw tooth hangers will work. Each piece must be labeled with the name of the artist, title of the work, size, medium and price adhered to the back of the piece.

All work that is selected and hung in the show must remain in the exhibit until the exhibit ends and art is scheduled to be picked up. NO EXCEPTIONS. Works must not be copies of another artist’s work (including photographs). Because Eisemann Center is a family-friendly venue, we will not be accepting works that include nude figurative subject matter. PAA reserves the right to reject any work not meeting eligibility requirements or not deemed appropriate to hang in the gallery, even after the image has been accepted by jurors and delivered to the gallery. Make sure you read the Legal Agreement before you submit an entry. It contains important information about how sales are handled during the show, what rights you agree to confer to PAA with your submission, and a Waiver of Liability.

 Amazon SmileDid you know you can give money to the PAA just by using Amazon Smile. Instead of using the general Amazon website, sign on the Amazon Smile. Designate Plano Art Association as your charity and any purchases you make will have a small percentage of the Amazon profit go to the PAA instead. It is an easy way to give money, and you pay the same price for the items on Amazon Smile as you would for the regular Amazon. Just think if all of our members (and maybe their family and friends) would do this as a habit. It would really help our budget. |
