    3. Exton Square Studio Gallery – at the end of the 2-to-3 month quarterly cycle, typically 2 weeks after cycles end.
  • Works to be exhibition ready, which means framed (if a frame is intended), wired and hangable. 3-D work should be safe and stable.
  • CCAA reserves the right to determine what is exhibition ready.

Jurying
After gathering results from our online survey, "To Jury or Not To Jury", we learned that the majority of our artists prefer juried shows. For the sake of learning and guidance read the article below. Though it can not speak to each jurors personal process (only they can do that), it offers cohesive and thoughtful advice.

CCAA offers both Juried and Non-Juried shows to support opportunities for all levels of artists interested in exhibiting.

(This article is merely food for thought when entering juried/judged shows - it does not guarantee acceptance to juried shows. Note- in this article the writer refers to digital submissions; CCAA currently judges all works in person, not digitally).
