Guidelines for Paint Box Guild Stanton Gallery Juried Show
All members are expected to deliver and pickup their own paintings or make arrangements with someone else to do so.
1. Paintings accepted for juried exhibitions by the Paint Box Guild will be held to the highest standards of originality in subject, composition and from the artists’ own photo reference. Paintings must have been done within the past two (2) years. Paintings that have received any award in a PBG juried show previously are not eligible. They may be submitted if they have been entered but have not received an award.
All submissions must be original work by the artist. No prints, giclées or photos will be accepted. If the artist is working from photographs, it must be from photos taken by the artist. Artists should be prepared to provide their reference photo(s) if requested. Works copied from other reference materials or done in a workshop where someone other than the artist has added even one brush stroke are not permitted
2. You must have entered your artwork into the Juried Art Show spreadsheet by no later than 7-24-26. Please check website for the spreadsheet. Include your name, painting title, medium and price.

3. All paintings must be wired for hanging. Refer to PBG Frame Wiring Standards. Any paintings not meeting the standards cannot be accepted for the exhibit. Paintings may also be rejected for damaged frames or paintings not secure in frames. Check glass for fingerprints. The committee is not responsible for cleaning or making repairs. Quality does count.
4. Two Paint Box Guild cards must be included with your submission. (Please pick up a supply at a meeting in order to have these available to you.) Fill in all information by printing in BLACK INK only. Attach one card to the back of your painting; you may also attach your business card. The title card is attached, face forward, to the back of the frame to hang just below the frame on the lower right-hand corner. No tape should be visible from the front. Use stronger tape such as shipping tape (Do not use masking, painters or scotch tape).
5. Once you have checked in your work, please leave the location unless you are part of the hanging committee.
6. All work must be for sale. Stanton Gallery will manage the sales and will take a 10% commission on any work that is sold. If a work is sold and removed before the show ends, the artist may replace the piece with another artwork. Coordinate with the show chairman (Merrie Wicks) so the new piece can be added to the inventory list.
NOTE: Each time we show, visitors form an opinion of our collective work and of our group. We want them to associate The Paint Box Guild with only the highest quality of work and we know that with everyone’s cooperation this is an easy goal.
​
Only the juror and two members of the hanging committee, and the program designer will be present in the room during the judging process.
​
Pam Mason is in charge of the reception.
​THE HANGING COMITTEE: or jury, reserves the right to refuse entry to any paintings that do not meet PBG standards. Paintings must be in good condition, properly strapped (no saw tooth hangers or eye screws) and void of any dirt, fingerprints and smudges. Each member is required to complete two (2) PBG Cards printed clearly in black ink. The first card is to hang face forward on the right-hand side just below the frame. Attach from the back with a strong tape such shipping or masking tape (no Scotch tape). The second PBG card is to be affixed to the back of the painting.
