Important Notes to Students:
- Only gallery-quality work will be accepted. Works must be framed under glass or plexiglass (paintings may have wrapped painted edges). Matted works without glass/plexiglass will not be accepted.
- Artwork that is to be traditionally hung needs to have a proper hanging device installed on the back of the work. The gallery will not provide proper hanging equipment and will not accept works without a proper hanging device.
- Students are responsible for getting their work properly matted and framed. Hobby Lobby has pre-made frames as well as many frame choices available for custom framing. Check online to look for their periodic 50% off frames sale.
- Artwork may be alternatively installed in the gallery, which could include pinning, nailing, and magnets. Please work with your major advisor for proper professional installation procedures if you feel your work will need an alternative or non-traditional presentation.
- Any work requiring special display or hanging (such as hanging sculpture or installation pieces) must be approved by the Chair or Gallery Director per the Moss-Thorns Gallery guidelines.
