All work, with the exception of sculpture must be securely wired, and ready to hang, Professional presentation improves the look of the artwork and will be considered in the judging process., Use clean mats and sturdy frames protected by glass or (preferably) Plexiglas which is safer and less reflective. Oils and acrylics on canvas do not have to be framed but must also be wired for hanging and have all edges finished either with neatly painted gallery edges or staples meticulously concealed with attractive, secure tape. Label all work with name, address, phone, title, size, medium and price. We encourage you to offer your entries for sale. No art that has been previously exhibited at EEAC can be entered. There is a three entry maximum.
SIZE RESTRICTIONS: for all shows (except Members’ Show): 30" wide by 40" high, including the frame. For 3D sculpture maximum 28” wide, 72” high and 40 lbs. See Members’ Show for special size restriction. All artwork must be original, no prints of originals will be accepted. Please see our website or call the gallery for protocol on entering poetry.

Artists can become members at time of submission. Work must be dropped off in person at the EEAC Gallery at 133 E. Main St, Riverhead.
LIABILITY: All artwork will be handled with care, however the East End Arts Council cannot assume any liability for loss or damage to artwork. For further convenience and safety we have initiated “Off-the-Wall” pick-up from 4PM-6PM on the final day of a show (always a Friday), and again the following day (Saturday) from 10AM to 3PM. Thereafter artwork will go into traditional “porch storage” until pick-up deadline at which time a $1 per item/ per day storage fee will be assessed.
