Exhibiting Requirements:

Work must:

• …be your own original work based on your image or composition and completed within the last 5 years. Any photos used for composition, design, etc. must be taken by the artist and not by someone else, including photos found on the internet, in a magazine or from another artist (even with permission). Using photos as references for accuracy of depiction (like animal anatomy for example) taken by someone else is OK so long as the composition of the final artwork is of your creation and not of that photograph.

• …be listed for sale to be judged for awards. For sales, we take 25% commission. Artists receive 80% minus the sales tax we submit.

• …be completed outside of a workshop or class setting, without the supervision of an instructor. 

• …not have won an award in a past TRA exhibition.

• *…be wired, framed and ready to hang or display on a pedestal.  Unframed gallery wrapped canvases must have the sides neatly painted. We will charge an additional $5 if it is not wired and we need to wire it for you. * Applies only to in-person exhibits.
