No Place Like Home Exhibit Entry Application

What does home or place mean to you? How might you represent home through your art? We’re excited to announce this community art exhibit open to artists who are 18 years or older to share connotations of home and place through their art.

Eligibility: Entered works must be original, hand-crafted, and ready for display. Mass-produced kit assembly other than that of their own creation will not be accepted. All work represented by the FACNRV should be of the finest quality and representative of artists’ talents. Oil, watercolor, fiber arts, photography, mixed media, sculpture, digital and other forms of art are all welcome. Please contact us if you have any questions. 

All framed and other hanging artwork must be ready to hang safely and securely with wire across the back. Exceptions will be made for pieces that are too heavy to wire across the back. In that case, pieces must have the appropriate hanging hardware installed. No sawtooth hangers will be allowed. Sculptures and other 3D work may be placed on stands, tables, or the floor. The Center reserves the right to make decisions regarding the pieces to be shown. No Artwork may be removed before the close of the exhibition.
