ARTWORK EXHIBIT LABEL UPDATE
ARTWORK STATEMENTS
In previous years, Exhibitors manually completed “Part B” of the entry form and attached the labels to the back of each artwork prior to delivery. This year, artwork exhibit labels will now be created by the RAST competition coordinator and emailed to all Exhibitor’s after entries close. The artwork exhibit label is an important identifier for the Artery Art on Show competition and needs to be attached to the back of each artwork entry prior to delivery. Please read the schedule for further details
This year, artists are encouraged to provide a brief artwork statement for each entry. This summary will provide valuable insight into the creation and intent of each artwork and help convey meaning to spectators. Artwork Statements will be displayed in the Exhibition Results Catalogue which will be available online after judging
