Submission & Curation

Each artist may submit up to three artworks; TAAC will curate one work per artist for the exhibitions. TAAC reserves the right to choose which exhibition (fall or spring) each artist will exhibit in. Artwork may not be swapped out unless approval is obtained from TAAC at least three weeks before either exhibition.

Art Sales & Fees

Proceeds from submission fees support operational costs including press materials, event-related fees, and insurance. Additional funds support community programming. All proceeds from art sales go directly to artists; no transactions are made by TAAC. Artists are encouraged to donate a percentage of sales to TAAC.

Delivery & Pickup

All work must be delivered and picked up according to the TAAC schedule. Each artist is responsible for drop-off and pickup at designated times. TAAC will not store work before or after the show. All work sold during the show will remain in the exhibition until after closing.
