Paintings will be done in plein with at least 80% completed on site of the painting. The show ‘Serendipity’ will celebrate the happy accidents in painting plein air.

Painting Requirements

  • Paintings are to be completed primarily in plein air
  • They may not have been exhibited in a prior MBPAPA show
  • All paintings will be hand delivered to the show, framed and ready to hang with hanging wire.

  • All paintings are for sale

Please note: In addition to the usual information on the back of your painting each piece should have a removable label on the Front of each work with title and name of artist. These “stickies” will be removed once the wall labels are up.

Sales

PG Art Center will receive a 40% commission of sales price on all pieces sold. So please take that into account when you price your entries.

Joaquin Turner

Entry Fees

$35 for up to 3 works

Image Submission

This is a juried exhibit. Each artist may submit a maximum of 3 works for the jury selection process. The juror will be instructed to only pick a maximum of 2 entries per artist. This way more members have a chance to be in the show.
