A separate Entry Form is required for each piece of artwork submitted. Artist name and address may be “completed” by affixing printed address label with name and address. There is a non-refundable entry fee of $25.00 for up to two (2) works of art, $10.00 for each additional submission.

7. The SHS will publicize the show with posters and press releases. Posters will be available for artists to distribute. Please provide jpegs of your entries prior to drop off if possible. Any works lacking jpegs will

9. Artists are requested to bring the “Artist’s Receipt” portion of their Entry Form(s) when picking up artwork. As a precaution, any Artist unable to pick up his or her artwork in person may be asked to submit a signed direction letter to the Sharon Historical Society & Museum authorizing release of artwork to another person and instructing SHS where to send any proceeds of sales of the Artist’s work. Any person so authorized, and any Artist not in possession of his or her Artist’s Receipt, may be asked to show a photo ID.
