Entry Process and Fee

Each artist may submit one piece that has not received an award in any previous Art Alliance shows. All works must be original. As a public space, Kish Bank reserves the right to refuse artwork perceived as inappropriate for their space. Please take this into consideration. 

Entry Process and Fee

Entry fees are non-refundable and may be paid by check, credit card, or online. To enter and pay online, please visit artallianceofcentralpa.org.

Entry fees are $20 for students (H.S./college), $30 for Art Alliance members, and $40 for non-members.

Prepare Your Artwork

Make sure your work is securely wired and ready to hang. Must be able to be hung on a wall. Poorly framed work, unhangable work, clips, brackets, partial frames, or wet work will not be accepted. Unframed stretched canvases are acceptable if they have finished sides and secure wiring. All pieces under glass or plexiglass must be framed. 3-D work may not exceed 100 lbs. The piece must be stable in its position and securely attached to its base. Label your artwork so we can accurately identify your work.

The chair reserves the right to reject entries that do not meet these requirements and will have the final decision on how the work is hung.
