All artwork on display must be For Sale, in good taste and suitable for all audiences, as the gallery is located within a public facility.
3. Each image submitted must be clearly identified by the following: title of artwork, dimensions, medium, price, artist’s name, contact information: telephone number and e-mail address. All works will remain in the exhibition until close of show on December 29, 2016. All unsold work MUST be picked up between the hours of Noon and 2 pm on December 29, 2016.

(To check jury results, log in at www.OnlineJuriedShows.com using your email address and password. Click "Your Artist Profile," and then the show name. You will see your jury results under each piece entered.)
5. Purchase Process: All artwork will be brokered by the artist or their representative with your given contact information, as the Civic Gallery is strictly a volunteer gallery and has no employees. A red dot will appear on the Exhibition Art Tag which will indicate that the art is sold and is available to the new owner as of April 3. A donation of 25% of the selling price of your artwork is suggested (to the Civic Gallery), as this enables us to provide future exhibitions and events for local artists.

About the Juror
Richard Stergulz is an Illinois native who by the age of eight knew he wanted to be an artist. He graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1983 which began his successful commercial art career. After 12 years of doing commercial art, Richard felt it was time to fine tune his art style. Richard moved to California in 1995 and started painting for himself in a realistic style with a touch of Russian impressionism. Richard works in oils on masonite board. His work is mostly figurative and he has started plein air painting as much as possible. He teaches class four days a week as well as doing demos for most of the Art Associations in San Diego and Riverside counties. Richard’s work hangs in galleries in Santa Monica, Idyllwild and Vista, California. His paintings have won numerous awards from Best of Show to People’s Choice.
