Juror Guidelines for SE Regional WCA Exhibiton, Matriarchs & Madonnas

Call for Entries Juror Guidelines

Juror Patricia Rodriguez has requested that artists ensure continuity in the works that are submitted for this exhibition. That translates to one medium, for example, photographers should not submit both color and black & white; artists who paint and sculpt should submit one or the other, not both. Patricia is also looking for a particular style that is your signature. For example, if you paint, don’t send both abstract and realism. She wants pieces that represent your particular style.

The images you submit should represent the show’s theme but they should represent your work as a unified body as well.
