The Lander Art Center Members Show is an opportunity for our artist members to exhibit their best artwork. This show is self juried so please submit artwork that best displays your style and interests. Please do not enter artwork that has been displayed at the Lander Art Center in the past two years. You may submit up to 3 pieces of like style or technique. Please be space conscious for other participating artists and mindful that this is one of our largest and most labor intensive shows to install.

• The Lander Art Center reserves the right to final curatorial and installation decisions.

On Originality    Any entry that is recognized as a copy will not be accepted. The following definition of original work was composed by professional artist Mary Back of Dubois, Wyoming:

"A direct copy of another's artwork is not acceptable whether the work copied is the actual artwork or a photograph of it published in a magazine or book, and whether or not the size is different.  A direct copy of a postcard or other published photograph is not acceptable, on the grounds that the composition and color scheme are someone else's.  It is acceptable to work from your own photographs, for in that case, you have decided on the composition and chosen the lighting which decides the color scheme.  Within these concepts, we leave it to the conscience of the artist, whether the work he submits is his own work, or the entire creative inspiration of someone else."

Display    All works to be hung must be securely wired and ready for display. We encourage simple, quality frames that reflect a professional presentation and not a home decor. All entries must remain on exhibit until the show closes. Artwork that is sold will remain until the show closes and at that time can be picked up or will be shipped to the buyer. Artists who desire to insure their work must carry their own insurance. The Lander Art Center will not be responsible in case of loss or damage. All reasonable care will be taken with entries. We urge you to consider plexiglas in place of glass.

Shipping    Return shipping must be pre-paid UPS or Fedex.

Deadlines    The Lander Art Center is a nonprofit organization funded through the community’s generous donations and grants. As a result, we have limited funds and manpower to accomplish our work. Exhibition and event deadlines allow us to manage our workload and maintain quality. Therefore, please consider this as you decide when and what shows to enter. We update our website as often as possible to aid in the exhibition entry process. Please call Executive Director Dannine Donaho or Programs Coordinator, Lisa Hueneke with any questions at 307-332-5772.
