  FRAMED PIECES MUST BE:

  • Wired with wired ends wrapped in tape. Wire should be securely attached to the back of the frame. The wire should be about 1/3 down from the top of the frame.

  • Sawtooth hangers, fishing line, or chain is not acceptable.

  • Mats, glass, and plexiglass must be free of scratches and clean. Officers can choose not to accept any piece that does not meet these requirements.

​

• LABELS: Every painting submitted needs a 3-part TRACKING LABEL. Please bring this with you when you drop off your painting. If needed, blank labels will be available on drop-off day.

  One part is to be attached (taped) to the back of the painting. One part is given to the Light Chasers representative at Drop Off. One part is kept by the artist and will be needed at Pick Up.

​

• PICK UP: All unsold artwork must be picked up on Monday, April 29, 2024, at Palm Avenue Fine Art. Exact Pick-up Times will be given at a later date. Any artwork that is not picked up will be taken home by a Light Chasers member. There is a $5.00 fee for each day that the work is not picked up. You will need to make an appointment with the person storing your painting to pick up your work. Light Chasers members will not mail or drop off your work or bring it to the field. If another artist picks up your work for you, they will have to sign for it at pick up & present your part of the 3-part label. If you know you cannot pick up your painting, please arrange for another artist to pick it up.
