Rules for Hanging Artwork at Lafayette Art Association Locations & Satellites
Some rules may vary by exhibit space or event. Please refer to the event flyers for more information.

• Student, Artist, Artist Family and Friends of the LAA Members in good standing do NOT pay any hanging fees

• “Open Exhibits” (Competitions) require nominal fees for non-members.

• 3-2 dimensional entries and/or 5-3 dimensional entries maximum. If you work in both you may enter a maximum of 8 entries. (May vary by exhibition)

• All exhibits are blind-juried by 5-7 LAA members.

• Two annual competition exhibits are judged by outside professional judges.

• The LAA uses a hanging system that requires a wire be firmly affixed to the rear of the frame 1/3 the distance from the top of the frame.  An entry frame having only a serrated (alligator or toothed) type hanger will be disqualified.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

• Gallery wrapped (1.5” minimum depth) canvases are also allowed with a wire placed in the same location from the top. Screw eyes must be placed inside the canvas frame and not protrude from the back of the canvas.  All unframed wrapped canvases must be painted on the sides and/or have painted image, or photographic image wrapped around edges.

• Mounts and frames should be neutral, neat, clean, of professional standard, and in proportion to the work. White, grey or cream mats only on framed work.
