Palette Award update

[Jacqueline Satterlee]

Hello ERAS Exhibiting Members,

Here are the rules for the Palette Awards exhibit at the Arnot Art Museum. Please read carefully.

1. You must be a ERAS Exhibiting member in good standing (dues paid).

2. You must have exhibited in the accepted number of ERAS circuit or group shows throughout the year (see rules on ERAS website).

3. Your artwork must be securely framed and ready for hanging, screw eyes and wire only (no sawtooth hangers, cracked glass, etc.)

4. All artworks must have been created within the past two years. No repeat entries.

5. All artwork must be original (no reproduction prints, etc.).

6. Sculpture may not exceed 100 pounds in weight.

7. Exhibiting Members may enter two items, but if your object measures more than 36 inches in any dimension you may enter only one item.

8. If you are not a member of the Arnot Art Museum there is a fee to be paid upon delivery ($15). AAM members, no fee.

Palette Award deliveries must be made to the delivery entrance at the museum. That's the loading dock on the north side of the building. Do not take it in the front door. You will be turned away.

Palette Award delivery times are ONLY:

November 16, Friday, 11AM to 1PM

November 17, Saturday, 11AM to 1PM

Do not show up before 11AM. Museum staff will turn you away.

If you show up at 11AM, be prepared to wait. It takes a while to process each entry.

Some of these rules were created by our organization, some are rules of the Arnot Art Museum. If you don't like the rules, don't take it out on AAM staff or ERAS volunteers. Bring up your suggestions at future meetings of the Elmira Regional Art Society.

See you Friday or Saturday, and may you all succeed !

Thank you.
