Participants will be on their own for lunch; please support our sponsors.

The deadline for check in and art submissions is 5pm at Four Corners Framing and Gallery, located at 112 South Main Street, the yellow building next to Soiree restaurant. Artists may begin turning in their work as early as 3pm.

A potluck artist reception will begin at 5pm for the Artists at Four Corners Framing and Gallery.

The awards ceremony will start at 6:30pm at Four Corners Framing and Gallery, 112 S. Main Street.

Cash and ribbons will be awarded for 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd place. Ribbons and merchandise/gift certificates will be awarded for Honorable Mentions.

Registration is $15 per artist. Advance registration is not necessary.

All work will be on display at Four Corners Framing and Gallery and the Depot Fine Arts Center through the end of October.

MAG will retain a 20% donation of all art sales.

If you are able, please bring something for the reception.

We need to show your works as professionally as possible. Please plan ahead and bring frames for oil and acrylic works, unless you use paintable edge canvases. Mats and plastic sleeves will stand in nicely for heavy frames and glass to finish water and pastel media. We will have all other framing tools available to you such as point drivers, hanging wire, eye hooks, tape, etc. and our event volunteers will be glad to assist in making sure your work is suitably presented.
