Artwork Requirements

This show is about displaying new and fresh work that has preferably been created within the last two years and has not been displayed in any previous WAC Gallery Shows.

Photography printed on metal with an attached hanger that is compatible with WAC's hanging system is also allowed.

By the act of submitting artwork for inclusion in any Wickenburg Art Center and Gallery sponsored show or event, the Artist guarantees that ALL aspects of his/her work belong to himself/herself, that the artwork is his/her ORIGINAL WORK and that he/she agrees to having represented it as such to both the Wickenburg Art Center and Gallery and the Public.

Jury Process and Guidelines

Please read and follow the submission guidelines. Submissions with unlabeled photos, wrong framing, etc. may be rejected. Titles will not be changed after submission. Please take your time when you submit your photos for jurying. If you are having technical problems (can't upload photos or can't pay), contact wacwebmaster@icloud.com.

Jurying at Wickenburg Art Center will be done by show.

All members may enter submissions for Wickenburg Art Center Gallery Shows via our web site. Jurors, who are WAC members, will choose the best pieces to fit the monthly shows. Due to space limitations in the main gallery, not all work can be accepted. Some work may not be appropriate for the theme of the show. If your work is not accepted, this is not a reflection on you. We are unable to provide specific feedback on entries.

Photo specifications will be included in the prospectus for each gallery show. WAC will provide assistance to members, taking photos of work and assisting with entry of photos.

To enter upcoming shows, use the links below. Details that apply to all shows are in the left hand column of this page.
