ELIGIBILITY
Open to all original artists' prints, including three-dimensional and installation work. If selected, work must be sent ready for display – CAW will not mount or frame work. Work must be able to pass through a doorway measuring 80 by 40 inches; no piece may exceed a weight of 75 pounds. If framed, please indicate glass or plexiglass on back. Exceptions to any of these requirements must be justified in writing at the time of entry. Please indicate any particular needs for display and handling of each entry.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Artists must enter online. Click here for online entry. One $30 entry fee covers up to three entries. Entry fees are non-refundable. Each entry must have been completed within the past 2 years. Each entry may be represented by up to three digital images: one required overall view and up to two detail views, if necessary. Digital images must be of professional quality in jpeg format, minimum 300 dpi resolution at 4x6 inches (1200x1800 pixels). File names must include the artist's last name and the title of the work (i.e. lastname-title.jpg). Each submission must also include an Artist Statement. CAW reserves the right to refuse an entry which has been significantly misrepresented by its entry or if the juror finds the work unacceptable for any reason.
JURYING + AWARDS
Work will be selected for the exhibition by the juror on the basis of digital image entries. Award winners will be chosen from actual work. Two artists will be awarded a joint exhibition at CAW in 2013. All selected entries will be included in an online gallery on the CAW website.
DELIVERY OF ACCEPTED WORK
Shipped work must arrive at CAW between April 16 and 17. Artists are responsible for paying shipping costs, including any insurance, with the carrier of their choice to and from CAW. Please be sure that the carrier will pick up at CAW. Reusable packing materials will be retained by CAW for return shipping. CAW will not be responsible for damage due to incorrect packing materials or insufficient container when returning artwork as it was originally shipped. Please provide a pre-paid shipping label for return of artwork.
LIABILITY + RESPONSIBILITY
CAW will take every precaution in handling accepted artwork, which will be insured while at CAW. CAW assumes no responsibility after the last pick-up date. In the event of theft or damage, CAW's insurance will only cover 60% of the sale price, which is what the artist would receive if the work sold, or the not for sale value. CAW must be notified of claim within two weeks of shipment or pick-up date. Submission of work and signature on the entry form shall constitute an agreement on the part of the artist to the conditions set forth in this prospectus. The acceptance of an entry in the exhibition shall further include permission to photograph work and/or use images for publicity and educational purposes.
SALES
A commission of 40% will be retained by CAW on all sales. A sale price or not for sale (NFS) value must be indicated for all work. Artwork not for sale should have a value exclusive of commission.
