ACCEPTED WORKS:  Work must be delivered to WRCA no later than Sunday, October 20th with and have an art label attached to the back of the work.

HANGING STANDARDS FOR HANGING ITEMS:  Due to the works being small, we will allow wire hangers, loops, dog tooth’s etc.  Whenever possible, please conform to our usual standards:  The wire should be attached to the frame/piece in the top third of the frame/piece (wires close to the center point will cause the frame to hang forward, away from the wall) and the highest point the wire can reach must be a minimum of  3/4 inch from the top of the frame/piece (otherwise the wall hook will show).  Frames, if used, must be clean and in good repair.  If works cannot hang acceptably, they will not be included in the exhibit. If you need help on how we hang framed works usually, please visit this link.
