| Stories from the City© Category (Optional) | You may bring one additional optional work with a ‘preservation’ theme, which may be interpreted however you wish. · Must provide narrative text (up to 100 words) to display with work, due July 1. |
| Framing etc. | Work should be well presented in a neat gallery wrap or an appropriate frame. · Work must be ready to hang, with wire or D-rings. · Damaged or weak glass or frames will not be accepted at check-in. · Decisions of the committee in terms of proper presentation, etc. are final. |
| Pricing | The minimum acquisition price a patron pays is $125 per painting. Ex. If you set the acquisition price at $125, this means you set the Fair Market Value at $81.25, which you will receive, and the buyer will be making a $43.75 charitable gift to HFW. |
