The Peoria Art Guild is a nonprofit, member-supported organization
dedicated to the advancement of Fine Arts and Fine Crafts in the
community. A 40% commission, subtracted from the sales price which you
indicate for your artwork, will be retained by the Peoria Art Guild
from all sales transacted from this exhibit.


<H3>Jurying</H3>
Jurying will be by slide submission only.  Since this exhibition
occupies both "gallery-space" and "virtual-space," entrants are
required to submit 35mm slides for jurying. The jurying is conducted
from slides to ensure that images are judged as the artists intend,
rather than from compressed or lower-resolution transmitted files. The
jurors will review all slides submitted and determine which entries
will be included in the exhibition. Artists whose works are accepted
from the slide jurying process will be notified by mail with further
shipping information and labeling material.
<p>

An "artist's statement," a technical explanation, a self-portrait, and
a sound file will be required of accepted entrants. These additional
submissions will create the multimedia artist/viewer interactions of
the WEB. These can be interpreted within a wide-range of creative
possibilities, as evidenced by the statement, portraits, and sound
files in the current exhibition. Information regarding format and
delivery of these files will be sent with the acceptance letter.

<p>
The jurors reserve the right to withhold from the exhibition works
which do not fulfill the expectations as indicated by the
slides. Prize awards will be determined by the jurors after viewing of
the exhibited work. All accepted work must remain for the duration of
the exhibition.
