They need to be kid-friendly and sturdy, as school groups visit the garden. Potters, fiber artists and jewelers will need to provide locking cases and pedestals. There may be opportunities to share these cases.

Sales: All sales are handled by the RBG gift store on the first level. No one will staff the exhibit directly, which is on the second level of the center. They will collect the sales with a 30% commission and sales tax is added. All participating members will be required to fill out a W-9 form. Red Butte Garden (The University of Utah) will send checks to artists for their sales.

Mats & Frames: White mats are recommended for the work of artists and photographers. A colored liner or filet is ok. Frames without mats are ok, as well as canvas wraps. All must be sturdy and ready to hang.

All artists must be current members of PCAA to participate.

Jury: The work will be juried. The committee will decide what pieces will work best for a cohesive show with variety. Every effort will be made to make sure each artist is able to show at least one piece (numbers will depend on available space).

Image Use: Our images may be used by Red Butte Garden and PCAA to promote the exhibit.

Art Submissions: All artists may submit up to four original pieces and five matted originals or prints*. If the original (up to) four pieces of work are paintings or photographs, they must be framed and or professionally mounted and ready to hang. The hanging system requires wires to be on the back of framed pieces, not “Z” hooks. Submission fees will be charged to help defray the cost of the art show, artists’ reception, and marketing.
