Artist Eligibility
A 1-year residency in Indiana (at any time in the life of the artist) is required. Must be a 2019 artist member of the Hoosier Salon.

Rules
- Works MUST be for sale and reasonably priced. Documentation of recent two-year sales history may be required if the Hoosier Salon disagrees with prices set. The Hoosier Salon retains 40% commission.
- Works must be original and produced by the entrant.
- The accuracy of all identification information is the responsibility of the entrant: applicant’s name, title of the work, media, dimensions and price are final at the time of entry. Check your grammar and spelling, verify OUTSIDE dimensions, and ensure that sale prices are within your current market range.
- Works must have been completed between January 2018 and June 2019 and not previously exhibited in any juried exhibition.
- Works must not have been executed in class or under the supervision of an instructor.

All 3D art that is intended to hang must include a museum-quality mount adequately accounting for the work’s weight. Any work requiring power must be safe, minimal maintenance, and identified at the time of entry.
