matted (unless presented with a gallery wrap) and MUST
include eyehooks or d-rings and wire securely fastened to the
back of the work. If artwork is submitted with a saw-tooth
hanger, it is at the artist risk and a saw-tooth is never to be
considered an appropriate hanging device. We will no longer
accept artwork that is shrink wrapped or adhered to matte
board or form core.
4. Many exhibitors believe that children’s are can be
displayed by use of thumbtacks on the panels at the
fairgrounds. The panels will not take thumbtacks so a
hanging device must be placed on every item. It is your
responsibility to place a hanging device to your child’s art
work to assure it is not damaged.
5. No wet paint or varnish accepted. Any work not properly
dried or completed will not be eligible for exhibit.

quality amateur art and craft show providing a venue for
emerging and amateur artists of all ages to showcase their
artwork. The Baker County Fairgrounds does not have the
space, security, or supervision needed to showcase semi-
