MEMBERS' GALLERY POLICIES and PROCEDURES


1. RCA Members in good standing will be allowed to submit one, original piece of art for the Members Exhibition.

2. Work must be original, no glicee prints or reproduction (unless its a photo). More than 80% of the work should be made or altered significantly by hand.

3. You can go bigger! The art can have a cumulative perimeter up to 96 inches or less including frame. For 3D work, the art must fit inside an 18 x 18 x 18 cube.

4. The 2D art must be ready to hang with either a wire (preferred), teeth, or d-rings on the back.

5. Work should be more fine art over craft. The Mendez Family Gallery will showcase decorative, fine art (like paintings, photos, sculptures), and the John & Mary Willrodt Gift Shop will feature functional art and crafts (fiber, jewelry, bowls, etc.)

Have a question about whether your art is for the gallery or gift shop? Please email us an image @ catey@rockportartcenter.com

6. Work cannot have a value greater than $2,500. 

7. All work is at the discretion of the Exhibition Committee. We reserve the right to not accept work that is not properly framed, of inappropriate subject matter, or consisting of too much mass-produced material. The Exhibition Committee will also offer quarterly portfolio reviews for artists.

8. All artwork must fit the theme of exhibition.
