On the back of EVERY piece, please put:

• Artist name
• Artist phone number / email address

Please make sure your art is ready to hang and/or framed. All work must be signed. Work that doesn’t meet these guidelines will not be accepted. There is no limit to the amount of work you can submit. We will curate the space appropriately, so all pieces you submit may not be displayed. Art MUST be able to be sold. 

The Birmingham Art Alliance will take a 20% cut of all art sold, unless you are not able to volunteer. In that case, the BAA will take a 30% cut. We highly encourage artists to provide business cards. Artists are paid at the end of the month after picking up unsold inventory.
