• Artists may submit an unlimited number of entries.

• All entries must be for sale.

• All entries must be original and may not include:
  • copies of copyrighted or published paintings or photographs.
  • reproductions, or art made from patterns, kits, or commercial molds.
  • art created in an instructional environment following step-by-step instruction. In other words, if you follow an instructor to paint the same composition in a workshop, class, instructional video, etc. it is not original.

• Three-dimensional work on a pedestal is limited to a weight of 50 pounds, and the artist must provide the pedestal. Smaller pieces which are designed to hang on a wall, and which are not too heavy for our panels, are acceptable.
• All artwork must remain on exhibit until the conclusion of the show.
• Artwork MUST be picked up AT THE SPECIFIED PICK-UP TIME SHOWN ABOVE. NO EARLY PICK-UPS are allowed! If you cannot meet this deadline, please arrange for someone to pick up your artwork. Artwork not picked up will become the property of Lacombe Art Guild.
• The Lacombe Art Guild Show Committee will have the final decision regarding whether artwork meets the above requirements and will be accepted into the show. No refunds will be given for art that is not accepted.
• Lacombe Art Guild has the right to use and display photos of any artwork submitted for entry in promotional materials, such as on the LAG website, posters, flyers, emails, Facebook, Instagram, and the like.
