FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
Escondido Art Association has strict hanging requirements for paintings. Please do not submit work that is not hung properly.
1. The visible sides of the canvas must be painted if they are not covered by a frame.
2. Please use D-rings. We prefer “D rings” to “screw eyes,” but screw eyes may be used inside canvas frames, if they are large enough to support the canvas With an attached frame.
3. Hanging wire should be threaded twice through the ring, and the end should be wound around the hanging section before concealing under tape.
4. Make sure to conceal ends of wire under tape. The wrapped ends of the hanging wire must be covered with tape to protect against injury for the hangers team.
5. When hung, the pulled center of the hanging wire, should be about 2 inches away from the top of the frame we suggest size number six plastic coated stranded, stainless steel picture wire.
HOW TO SIT GALLERY
Artist members who submit artwork monthly are encouraged to "Sit Gallery" for a 3 hour shift during the month of their show (or pay a $10 fee to opt out).
Training will be provided. It's fun, easy, and a great way to find out MORE about what's going on at Escondido Art Association. Contact Volunteer Coordinators Meg Decker and Wendy Nelson for more information: [email protected]
