FRAMING GUIDELINES:
- Artwork must be presented in a professional manner.
- PNBA and GNSI reserve the right to exclude artwork that is not professionally presented or does not meet the general standards outlined below.
- Due to the large space in the Convention Center it is recommended that artwork be at least 10" x 13", or 46" in circumference.
- Neutral mats should be used. A white or off-white mat is preferred. Gray, beige or black mats are considered neutral and quite acceptable. If a double mat is used the inside mat must be narrow, preferably no more than 1/8" wide and if contrasting colors are used, both colors must be neutral e.g. a white outer mat with a black inside mat.
- Decorative or colored mats are not acceptable.
- Frames should be simple, of metal or wood, with a gallery frame profile preferred (this is an “L” shaped profile i.e. flat front and flat side.) Colors should be neutral. Natural, black, copper, silver or gold are acceptable.
- Decorative colors are not acceptable.
- Wide (> 1.5"), carved, or ornate frames are not acceptable.
- Artwork must be safely and securely wired for hanging.
- Sawtooth hangers are not acceptable.
- Glass may be used on smaller items or larger items being hand-delivered. However, acrylic is preferred for safety and to prevent damage during transportation. Acrylic is preferred on items over 20" x 24" or 88" in circumference and must be used on any item being shipped by mail or other commercial carrier.

- Sold art must remain on exhibit until the end of the show.
- Send the name of your sold art to Margaret Trent by March 30, 2014: mgt@mgtrent.com for inventory purposes and to insure that sold art does not end up in the subsequent Miller Library (CUH) exhibit.
