Timeline:
February 1, 2010-Canvases available for purchase and pick up.

Guidelines:
-The 12” x 12” canvas must be purchased from The Galaxie.
–All works must be the Square Foot Canvas, OR be an object measuring 12" by 12" exactly.

There will be a room dedicated to conceptual work; including ceramics, sculpture, photo, video, etc. hanging directly on the wall. If you plan to use an alternate 12 X 12 surface, or a self purchased/constructed canvas the $30 fee is still required to assist with show production expenses. You may use and submit multiple canvases keeping in mind that they may not be mounted together to produce one large canvas, but they may be hung together to produce one image.

If you are considering using alternative materials and application of the Square Foot theme, please consult a Galaxie representative to ensure that it fits with-in our guidelines. The Galaxie reserves the right to refuse any work submitted with-out a refund of the canvas purchase fee.
