The venue can hold approximately thirty-five flat pieces and two to four 3-D pieces.  The show will be curated by Kris Carmichael, Facility Supervisor for Page-Walker.  Every effort will be made to include one piece from every member who submits pieces for consideration. If all PAQA-South members do not submit, it is possible that more than one of your pieces might be displayed.  There is no limit on the age of the piece but it cannot have been previously shown at Page-Walker.  The pieces do not have to be for sale but if you do want to sell your piece there is no commission taken by Page-Walker.
