FAQ

FAQ:

1. Will only paintings be accepted as submissions? 

No. We are excited to consider all types of art mediums - such as photography, sculpture, mixed media, even jewelry making and metalwork - provided they are no larger than height or width of 72 inches and do not exceed 25 pounds. All pieces must be display ready.

2. Who can submit?

Anyone! Our community is full of creatives of all levels, and we are excited to invite visual artists of all ages to submit work for consideration. You do NOT need to be a professional artist for your work to be considered.  

3. Do I have to pay to submit my art? 

No. It is completely free to submit your works for consideration and there is no participation fee. 

4. How long do I have to be able to submit my art? 

The submission window is open from November 5th and closes November 30th.

5. What does “display ready” mean? 

Artwork must be dry, and where applicable, sealed to prevent smudging. All two-dimensional works must be prepared for hanging using a strong, secure wire system to hang on a hook unless a display easel is being used. Work needs to be professionally presented. Matting and/or framing can definitely provide a very polished look. (This could also be helpful if you are interested in selling your piece.) 

6. Will all pieces be displayed? 

We will be selecting up to 25 pieces, or however many will fit in the allotted space. 

7. My art has been selected, what do I do now? 

Ensure your piece is display ready, but please do not further alter the piece. Appointments will be made to drop off accepted pieces at the PAC Gallery on either December 1st or 2nd. 

Next? Celebrate! Invite your friends and family to see your work displayed!The exhibit will be open to the public during all The Nutcracker Ballet performances with ticketed entry - December 15, 16, 17. Please visit thepac.net for further information on performance times and tickets.

8. Can I sell my artwork through the exhibition? 

Yes! Potential buyers will have the opportunity to share their contact information to arrange purchase for any artwork you choose to sell.

9. When can I pick up my art when the exhibit is over? 

All artworks will be scheduled to be picked up by the artist who dropped it off by appointment on January 4th or 5th. Any work not picked up by January 13th will be discarded.
