Exhibition dates: Friday, June 27 through Wednesday, July 2, 2008

Hours: 10 am to 9 pm

Location: 310 Genesee Street, Utica, New York

Exhibition policies: This is a juried exhibition. Not every work submitted will be placed on view. One work may be submitted by each artist. All works must be originals, not copies, produced within the past five years and not previously exhibited at the Institute, including the School of Art Annual Exhibition.

All works must be securely framed. Watercolors, drawings, prints and photographs must be framed under glass or plexiglas. DO NOT include wire and screw eyes for hanging. Maximum outer dimensions, including frame, are 44 inches high by 48 inches wide by 2 inches deep. Maximum sculpture dimensions are 24 x 24 x 24 inches.

Artists must recognize that this is an outdoor exhibition and work will be susceptible to fading, moisture, and condensation.

Sales are conducted by the Gift Gallery for a 40-percent commission. Purchases may be made in installments to be paid in full by July 14, 2008. Payment to artists will be made after that date.

Media: Paintings, photographs, prints, drawings, computer-generated art, and small sculptures. No crafts, films or videos will be accepted.

Eligibility: Open to artists 18 years and older residing within a 40-mile radius of Utica.

Prizes: Visitors may cast ballots for their favorite works of art in each of these five categories: watercolors; works on paper; photographs; sculpture; oil, acrylic or mixed media paintings. Exhibitors who won prizes in 2007 are not eligible for prizes this year. A total of 20 works in the exhibition will receive juror's choice ribbons.

ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS: Students enrolled in grades 9 through 12 during the 2007-2008 school year and who reside within a 40-mile radius of Utica may enter their work to be judged with work by other high school students. This is a separate category from the adult group, but the same conditions apply. There will be a best-in-show prize awarded.
