Frequently Asked Questions

Are there size limits for my art?
We don't have specific requirements, but since space will be limited, we recommend artwork be between 12"x18" and 22"x28."

Should my art be matted or framed?
It would be helpful if your art is mounted and matted, but it does not need to be framed.
