TERMS AND CONDITIONS

We are pleased to invite you to apply for exhibition in the 2020 Art on the Canal Art Stroll.

Eligibility

1. We welcome any artist in the area of fine arts or fine crafts, who exhibits his or her own handmade works of art.

Fine art defined – fine art is art developed primarily for aesthetics or beauty.

Fine craft defined- Sometimes called decorative or applied art which also has to serve some practical function, such as pottery or most metalwork. Excellence in craftsmanship is reserved for work that shows the highest standards of quality. The work demonstrates a mastery of the medium, far beyond basic and intermediate proficiency skills. Attention to details and a thorough knowledge of the medium is demonstrated. Materials used are of the highest quality and of the best choice to enhance the overall design of the piece. The entire work is executed without technical flaw and it meets its intended purpose — e.g., if it’s a pitcher, it must pour, a jacket must fit, a drawer must glide freely. The appropriateness of technique and process are successfully united in a piece that shows excellence of craftsmanship and is functional.

2. All art must be original in concept, design and execution. We look for quality, originality and creativity. Some commercially manufactured parts may be incorporated; however, the design and execution of all items must be a product of the exhibiting artist. No manufactured jewelry, pieces made from commercially available kits, ceramics cast from commercial molds, or items imported or mass-produced for resale will be permitted, including items contracted for assembly to an artist’s specification.

3. Booth sharing is not allowed unless approved by the Committee.

4. Participants must exhibit the type and quality of work as shown in images submitted with application.
