When registering for a show, to respect the time of the volunteers who take in registration, create the sign in sheets, and create and print the wall tags for the venue, ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES WILL BE ACCEPTED after you submit your registration. Make all your decisions on which piece, title, and price BEFORE submitting your entry.

Work must be original, conceived and created by the artist, and NOT exhibited in a previous judged Guild show. Artworks created in an instructional setting, including, but not limited to workshops and art classes are not eligible for submission. No direct copying of stock images, historic photos, or of any reference to which you do not have permission from the photographer or holder of the copyright. However, using such images in a piece (e.g. collage) where those images have been significantly transformed is allowed.

Copies and reproductions of original works of art, whether embellished or not, are not eligible for submission. However, prints such as photographs, lithographs, woodcuts, engravings, etching, screen prints, and digital works are acceptable as long as they are labeled as such.

NO narrative explanations or description of artwork may be included with the artwork. Words may be included as a part of the composition of the artwork.

Each member may submit 1 (one) piece. All entries must be dry and WIRED for hanging (NO other hangers accepted) with a label attached to the back of the artwork including your name, the title, medium, and price. The Guild reserves the right to decline any work that does not meet the above requirements.

Also, CADL Okemos Library reserves the right to decline any artwork they consider unacceptable. No nudes at this location; families and children frequent the building. Work must be acceptable for all ages. Work must remain at the Library for the entire show.

Please NOTE: All wall-hung art submitted to any MMAG show or exhibit requires a WIRE for hanging. The hanging systems in our venues CANNOT accommodate loops, bars, sawtooth hangers, etc. Make sure the gauge (thickness) of the wire is strong enough to hold the weight of your piece. Art not following this requirement will be rejected from the show.

Liability and Insurance – CADL Okemos Library and MMAG will take all precautions to safeguard your work, but neither can be responsible for the loss of, or any damage to, your work. You are responsible for insuring your artwork if you wish.

Sales and Commission – Works exhibited need not be for sale.  The library does not handle sales of  exhibited pieces. Potential buyers will contact MMAG via website or email. MMAG will notify the artist, who will handle the sale directly with the purchaser.

Registration – All work must be registered before check in. No work will be accepted at check in that has not been registered by the deadline. Sorry, no walk-ins. Registration allows the committee to pre-print tags and plan for space requirements.

Online registration DEADLINE is 5 PM on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.
