| Jurying |
The juror will independently
screen all images and make the preliminary selection of all work in
the exhibition.
Accepted work is subject to final approval
by the juror's representative after the actual work arrives in Albuquerque. Work that differs significantly from the slide or digital
image representing
it will be ineligible for the exhibition and returned
to the artist. Submission to Small Expressions 2010 implies that
the artwork represented on the slides
or digital images will be, if
chosen by the juror, available for the exhibition and that the artist
understands that all accepted work, without exception, must remain
for
the duration of the exhibition. |
| Eligibility |
Three pieces may be entered per artist.
Pieces exhibited in previous Small Expressions exhibits are not
eligible.
Submitted work is limited to fiber
techniques (interlaced, felted, paper, etc.).
All work must be of exhibition
quality, completed within the last two years (since January 2008)
and not previously published.
The size of the finished work may not
exceed 15 inches (38 cm) in any direction including any mounting or
display devices.
Work executed under classroom/educational
guidance or supervision is not eligible.
