All shows require original work (see Originality Requirements) which is not based on published photographs, or done as class work or in workshops. Copies of other artists’ work are not eligible to exhibit (unless specified in a special exhibit).

Maximum size, including the frame, is 36 inches in either direction.
Mats should be white, off white, or a light-colored neutral tone. A thin, colored liner mat (1/4”) is acceptable.
The installation method requires a screw eye/D-ring and wire setup. Screw eyes/D-rings are to be placed one third down from the top corners of the frame. The wire, when held at the center, should reach 2 inches from the top of the painting.
Metal frames with clips and wire are suitable, IF, clips are firmly seated (no slippage) and at the required distance from the top corners.
Plexiglas is required on artwork larger than 18″x24″. Glass, plexiglas, frame, and mat should be clean, free from damage and properly sized, fitted for its frame and firmly seated.
Paintings must be thoroughly dry … No wet paint.
Paintings can be for sale, but do not have to be. No commission will be taken.
Only members of the Installation Committee and the Gallery Coordinator are authorized to hang, move, or remove paintings.
Work deemed inappropriate for public viewing by all ages, i.e. nudity or violence will not be accepted.
The Exhibits Chair, the AGL President, or their designated representative has the final say on what will hang in all exhibits. They have the right to reject any piece at their discretion, regardless of content, medium or presentation.
Neither BREC, nor the Guild, is liable for damage, loss or theft.
The work must be an original composition in both execution and design.
The work may not be a reproduction of an original from any medium even if it is a limited edition signed by the artist and registered. Prints or Giclées are not permitted. For printed works to be considered original, the work must be a graphic work for which the artist himself etched or engraved the original plate, cut the block or worked on the stone or screen.
A work may not be a direct copy of a published or unpublished composition, i.e. postcards, photographs in books or other publications, other photographs not taken by (or expressively for) the artist, or the work of other artists. Photographs taken by the artist but processed by commercial photo labs will be accepted as original sources. Collages or mixed media work may employ photographs in an original composition by the artist.
Work done as a result of, but not during, a workshop or performed in response to a “take-home” assignment may be considered original, provided the artist has interpreted the subject matter in his or her individual way and rendered the work without direct assistance from another artist or instructor. Originality is usually not compromised by an artist’s attempt to respond to minor critiques and suggestions offered by fellow artists or instructors.
