All members of the Friends of the Hopkins Center for the Arts. If you are not a member, you may become one when you register for the show.

2. What artwork is eligible in the Spring Members' Show

• Original work in all media is accepted but must have been completed within the last 2 years and not previously exhibited at the Center. Work is not juried for entry.
• Work must be submitted ready for installation - clean, undamaged and framed if meant to be framed. For wall-hung pieces, please attach a horizontal wire as the hanging mechanism as this permits us to attach the piece securely to the wall.
• Due to increased participation, artists entering work over 48" in width may be limited to one piece depending on space.
• Diptychs are allowed, but count as 2 submissions if not framed together as one object. Other suites of work, or artworks incorporating multiple objects, must be in a shared frame or mounted to a single substrate. In essence: each entry must be able to be moved as one object.
