Resources for Creating Digital Files: Questions about creating digital files of your work? ASBA has an article on the subject: "Hang it Up: Devil is in the Digitals"; There are many graphic designers that can create digital files of your art for you. Kinko's can create a file that is sufficient for our online submission. If you'd like to create fine art prints, consider an option like Arts District Imageworks in NE Minneapolis. 

​

Framing of Artwork:

·       White or off-white mat, single or double.

·       Wood frames (no metal or plastic).  Natural, stained (browns) or painted

         (white, off-white, gold, silver, black).

·       Wired for hanging with D-rings

·       Corners must have guards ~ "Guards" are the self adhesive rubber bumper feet

        that are included with most professional framing.  

·       Acrylic/plexiglass is suggested (but not required) for safety reasons.

Work not in compliance will not be hung.
