Considerations

If Your Work is Accepted:

1. Artwork must be ready-to-hang using wire and must not exceed 36" in the longest dimension. If applicable, please use white mats and frames that are gallery quality and complement your work (color mats are not acceptable). Clearly label the back of your work with your full name and contact information. TPS reserves the right to exclude works from the exhibition that are not gallery-ready and professional in presentation.

2. Be sure to include a return shipping label/postage for prints to be shipped back to you when the exhibition concludes. Work WITHOUT return shipping will NOT be included in the exhibition and will NOT be returned. Prints will be returned in the container in which they were received. No packing “peanuts”, and please be considerate of our limited storage space when choosing your packaging.

3. Framed prints must arrive in San Antonio, Texas, no later than August 19, 2016.

If you have questions after reading all the guidelines, please contact us at shows@texasphoto.org.
