Two-dimensional work (including photography) must be brought to the show framed (or stretched on a frame) and ready to hang with securely attached braided picture wire. No saw tooth, cardboard pop-out or plastic hangers will be accepted. Due to limited display space, frames may not exceed 36” in width.
