FINE ARTS
All entries, excluding free standing articles and sculptures, must be framed and ready to hang. Every
precaution will be taken for the safety of all entries, but in no case will the Torrance County Fair Board
be responsible for damage to any entry. The artist should carry his own insurance if needed.
1. The “General rules of the Torrance County Fair” and the rules of the “Indoor Exhibit Division” apply
with the following exceptions: EXCEPTION 1. Student, junior, pre-junior or special needs exhibits may be
mounted on stiff backing, matted, or may be framed and wired to hang. All adult entries must be framed
and wired to hang. EXCEPTION 2. An exhibitor may exhibit one (1) entry in each medium, but only a total
of three (3) entries in the entire fine arts show.
2. The Torrance County Fair wishes to encourage participation in the Fine Arts Department and will do
its best to exhibit all work qualified. However, due to limited space it must reserve the right to limit
exhibition as space allows.
3. Entry classifications will be divided as follows: PROFESSIONALS: Someone who derives a portion of
their income from the sale on an item. SENIOR: Over the age of 18 as of January 1st 2014. JUNIOR: Ages
12 to 18 years as of January 1st, 2014. PRE-JUNIOR: Ages 12 and under as of January 1st, 2014. STUDENT:
Entries in this division must be pre-selected and entered by teachers of students enrolled in the
Torrance County School District. Work must be done by students and completed since the last Torrance
County Fair. This class was created to encourage student participation in art. We would welcome help
from teachers in this endeavor. Teachers as “class exhibitors” may exhibit three (3) entries per school
class (i.e., 1st grade, 2nd, etc).
Student Classes will be divided as follows:
9th—12th grades
7th—8th grades
K—6th grades (a separate class for each grade)
Entries may not be taken from youth.
All entries must have been made after the Torrance County Fair, September 2013.
Class will be divided by media, and if entries warrant categories such as landscape, etc., as the rules
state, there must be three (3) entries to create a new category.
Exhibitor must state which piece will be judged if no new class if formed.
People’s choice will be voted on.
