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

2. What artwork is eligible in the Fall Members' Juried Exhibition?

• 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 juried for entry, this is not like the members’ spring show.
• 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.
