Pick of the Month

Requirements For Entry

Pick of the month is an informal contest created to support our member’s efforts. Because it is informal, we do allow work that has been done in class as well as that done independently. Pick Of The Month is held at each monthly meeting except October when all 1st place winners compete for Pick of the Year. We need at least 7 paintings to award 3 places, so please participate! We’d like to see what you’ve been working on! Art should be finished and in ready to hang condition. Acceptable Media: All fine art painting or drawing media (oil, pastel, acrylic, watercolor, pencil, charcoal, etc.) mixed media, 3-D art (including Bas Relief), and sculpture (all mediums).
3-D art and Sculptures must weigh less than 20# and should fit on the display table or you must bring a stand.
All paintings must be framed; gallery wrap (3/4 to 2.5 wide on the edge and stapled on the back) is acceptable. The maximum size is 24 x 36 (full sheet watercolors), maximum weight is 10 lbs. Frames must be in good repair and the art securely fastened in.
All oils must be completely dry. In order to prevent damage from handling, Watercolor, Pastels, Drawing and some types of mixed media should be under glass or plexi-glass.
There is no entry fee
Art not meeting these standards may be refused entry by our Pick of the Month Chair.
Note: During Pick of the Year, we do allow artists to present a print or a copy in lieu of the original art. This is because we recognize that the original may have been sold or entered in another art show. If you are bringing in a print for Pick of the Year, please mount it on cardboard or whiteboard so that it will stand upright with the rest of the art.
