Unframed stretched canvas is acceptable if the canvas has a minimum 1-inch depth and canvas sides are finished or painted. All entries must be able to be hung. Any artwork submitted without correct hanging finishing will not be displayed for the event.
6. Note: The show may refuse to hang an entry if the framing is unsuitable or unsafe. This is both to protect our set up team and to prevent your artwork from being damaged if it falls off the display case. Works are hung from hooks in the stands - if your work has no picture wire, or it cannot take the weight, we literally cannot hang your work.
7. Artists may enter as many exhibits as per the guidelines, but quantity, location and display of exhibits will be at the discretion of the MHOA.
