Maximum and Minimum painting size: 8” x 8” before framing
All work must be framed, wired and ready to hang; wires need to allow a sufficient clearance between hook and top of frame so that a 1” hook does not show above the frame when hung; a minimum 2” clearance is recommended; wires revealing hooks after being hung will require rewiring and delay the painting’s exhibition. This smaller format allows for sawtooth hangers for light-weight frames. Works created using water media must be properly glazed or varnished.
Note: You can ship/deliver your unframed work to Randy Higbee/KingofFrame for framing; let them know which LPAPA Show its being framed for and they will deliver your framed work to the LPAPA Gallery by the delivery deadline.
