Art from Here continues the Tarble’s annual tradition of showcasing the creativity and expression of young artists in east-central Illinois and celebrating over four decades of collaboration with regional art teachers.
Entry Rules
All works must be original and produced under the direction of the student’s art teacher or student teacher. Works produced outside of a school’s art program are not eligible.
Please ensure that the Intent to Exhibit form is received by the Tarble Arts Center on or before WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2024, and the Inventory List form is received by the Tarble Arts Center on or before FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 2024.
IMPORTANT: Inventory List(s) must be accurate and fully completed since the exhibition labels are developed from the information you provide. All pieces must have a completed identification label attached to the upper right hand corner on the back of two-dimensional works or temporarily attached to a visible area on three-dimensional works. Use the Identification Tags provided by the Tarble, making sure each tag includes the student’s name, grade level, school, title, media, and Art instructor’s name. These tags need to be completed and affixed to works prior to dropping off art works off during the intake process.
Two-dimensional works should be properly matted (matboard, tagboard) and equipped for hanging, no exact dimensions are required. Frames are also acceptable for two-dimensional works. The Tarble Arts Center will produce a label for each piece; if your school elects to provide additional labels for the works, please trim or reduce the labels to ensure that they do not cover any part of the artwork. Multiple framing (i.e., more than one work in a single frame) should be limited to two works per frame, or for very small pieces, up to four pieces may be presented together (please note: if you elect to mount more than one artwork on a single board, each artwork still counts as an entry—i.e., if you mount two works on one board, that counts as two separate entries).
All entry specifications and deadlines will be strictly enforced, and acceptance of works is dependent on compliance with these specifications as listed above and on the Exhibition Timeline. Works that are not properly catalogued, matted, and/or have the appropriate hanging gear attached will not be accepted or displayed.
