Show Dates: July 10- August 8, 2021
Deadline for Entries: Friday, June 18, 2021
This annual show is our thank-you to all our members. It is a privilege for us to showcase your art in the Academy’s gallery and, this year, also on our website. We do not feel that an artist’s reception is safe at this time in our enclosed space, but we look forward to welcoming visitors, in person, to the gallery, with CDC protocols in place. If you are unsure whether your membership is current, please contact us.
These are the guidelines…
Entries and Specifications
- One piece may be submitted in any media. Work should not exceed a total more than 36” in height or width, including mat and frame, if framed in traditional manner. If non-traditional, 36” total in both directions still applies.
- Preferably this will be new work done within the last 3 years.
- Freestanding or 3-dimensional work must be able to be exhibited on pedestals in the following sizes: 16” x 16”, 23” x 23”, 16” x 36”, or directly on the floor.

Appropriate secure hardware must be attached to all hanging artwork for installation. Use only professional picture hanging wire affixed with screw eyes; no tape, no claw hangers, no fishing line, no string. Gallery staff cannot do this for you.
Pricing & Commission
Although there are no price restrictions, experience has shown that work priced at $500 or less has the greatest chance of selling. The Academy retains a 35% commission. If you wish to submit work that is Not for Sale (NFS), it will be happily accepted for this Members’ Show.
