e welcome all of our members’ active participation
throughout the year, whether as a volunteer, committee
member, funding an award in memory of a loved one or giving to
help fund our endowment.
New this season are “The Art Spirit “ Awards. These awards are
funded by generous contributions from many NSAA Members and
patrons and presented during Exhibition VI. The monies raised will
be divided into two awards for excellence in any medium, one to an
Artist Member and one to an Associate Member. Contributions can
be made at any time throughout the season until 9/20/15.
We look forward to seeing you in the Gallery often!

• Exhibition Policy
Work must be recent and never previously exhibited at NSAA. Original work only. Hand pulled works from etching plates are acceptable.
No digital images, prints, Giclee prints, class work, copies or likenesses of another’s painting, drawing or photograph are acceptable.
Two works may be submitted for each Exhibition, unless otherwise noted. However, the Jury has discretion and only one work may be
accepted due to our large Membership and number of submissions. All work is hung at the discretion of the Arts and Exhibitions
Committee. To protect the integrity of our exhibitions and out of respect for the other Artist Members, no artwork shall be repositioned
once it is hung or removed completely from any exhibition.
• Framing Policy
All artwork must be appropriately framed. The Gallery Manager and/or A&E Chair have final discretion. Artwork must be dry, frames in
good condition, wired in the upper third of the frame and completely ready for hanging. No saw-tooth hangers, no frameless glass on
works on paper. Only Museum quality Acrylic/Plexiglas frames are acceptable. Gallery-wrapped canvas is allowed but must be painted
on all sides and stapled on the back of sturdy stretchers and wired for hanging. All framed works on paper, pastel, watercolor, pen and
ink, etc., must be protected by glass or Plexiglas. White or off-white mats are recommended. Artwork accepted for exhibiting cannot
exceed 56” in width including the frame.
• Exhibition Sculptures
Two sculptures may be submitted for the Jury’s consideration. Size may not exceed 6’ in greatest dimension. All sculptures must have
a stable and secure base. Sculptors may supply their own pedestals if desired.
• Pricing
Prices may not be changed once they have been listed in the Exhibition Guide. “Not for Sale” or “Price on Request” is not eligible for
exhibition consideration.
• Commissions
A sales commission of 33.3 % will be retained by NSAA for all works sold. A 15% commission is requested on referrals on any sale made
as a direct result of NSAA staff efforts. Member sales IRS/state reporting is the sole responsibility of the Member.
• Right to Reproduce Artwork
NSAA assumes the right to photograph any work accepted into an Exhibition for catalogs, website listing or other publicity purposes.
Submission of artwork to NSAA shall be understood as an agreement of the artist to these conditions.
• Exhibition Labeling
Please fill out the 3-part labels and attach on back left-hand upper corner of artwork at the time of delivery. Please do not separate the
sections of the labels. Labels will be available at the NSAA gallery.
• Storage
Members who live out of state may store their work for the season’s exhibitions. Please contact the Gallery Manager for details. Fees
may apply.
• Shipped Paintings Accepted
Artwork may be shipped prepaid to NSAA. Arrangements for pick-up and/or return shipping and insurance is the responsibility of the
artist and not NSAA.
• Liability
Every reasonable care will be exercised in the handling and storage of artworks. However, NSAA will not be responsible for loss or
damage to works. Submission implies agreement with these conditions.
• Miniature Showcase
NSAA will accept two original paintings per artist, any medium, not exceeding 8 x 10” including frame. Please use white labels.

long-distance Members will be accepted. Each item should be retail priced by the artist. The Artist will receive 66.7% of retail price within
30 days of receipt of invoice.

All NSAA Artist Members who do not have a website should provide an updated biography, with a photo if possible. Your biographies
serve as a valuable resource for both the sales staff and NSAA visitors interested in the purchase of artwork.
