Entry is limited to current, active members of Artists Enclave of Denton County. Non-Members are welcome to join Artists Enclave of Denton County for $25 annually at any time, immediately making them eligible for participation in this show. Join via https://www.artistsenclavedenton.org/join

Submissions in any 2D medium will be considered, including but not limited to: painting, photography, ceramics, textiles, woodworking, and mixed media. 

Artists may enter up to 6 pieces.

Factors determining selection include a work’s representation, theme, and technique as well as the number of submissions received, and space available for proper display. Additionally, as mentioned above, this show has several special submission criteria: 

• While not absolutely a requirement, special consideration will be given to works which are for sale. 

• While works of all sizes are welcome for submission, certain areas of the venue are optimized for mid-sized works or larger works of 24” x 30” or greater. Jurors will be specifically looking for a number of works of those dimensions.

• Steve’s is a commercial establishment patronized by a wide cross-section of the Denton community which, before 9 p.m., may include minors. Jurors reserve the right to consider imagery and them when making selections.
