Submission specifications

Submit original, high-quality JPEG image files only (PNG and TIFF are not accepted). Ensure only the artwork itself is visible in the image with no visible matting, frames, or background distractions. Make sure your image is oriented correctly (right side up). You do not need to resize your image files before uploading. Smaller images cannot be enlarged to meet requirements, so ensure your images are high resolution before uploading.

Sales & liability

Work may be for sale; NFS (not for sale) is allowed. FSC will not be taking a commission on any art sales. The artist is responsible for establishing the price of each piece. Artists are encouraged to broker their own transactions. Artwork will remain up during all events and concerts at FSC until pickup day or until sold. Every care in handling artwork will be taken by installers, but they assume no liability if artwork is damaged in transport or installation due to improper packaging. It is highly preferred that you be present during opening night.
