Tacoma Art Supply
Presents the 1st
Tacoma Summer & Maritime
Art Show & Competition 2008 July 3-7, 2008
Tacoma Art Supply will have its first ever art show & competition in a
tent on the grass area in front of the Carlton Building at 1552 Jefferson,
Tacoma, WA 98402, nearby Tollefson Plaza during the week of Tall Ships
Tacoma, July 3-7, 2008.
Type of Art: Any two dimensional, paintings, drawing, collage or
mixed media. The largest size that will be accepted is 24"x36". Sorry, no
photography for this show, but we will consider having a photo show and/or
competition in the future.
Subjects or Theme: "Tacoma, Summer and/or Maritime, or…"
Suggestions: Pick two of the themes, or something related, or what ever
you have that you think would be appropriate. Hopefully artists will
submit recent work created in the last few years. Art that has been seen
at other shows may possibly not be chosen for show or for prizes, but that
doesn't mean you can't try. Art that does not fit our theme also might not
be chosen, unless it's really good and we just know we have to have it in
our show.
Art submissions can sold, or not, by the artist. Not for sale submissions
are allowed. Tacoma Art Supply will take a small commission for art sold
at the Tacoma Summer & Maritime Art Show and Competition. To be announced.
Entry Fee: $20.00 per person for two pieces. Our intention is to
have at least one piece from each artist for the show and competition.
If you are not chosen for the show we will refund
your entry fee.
Submission Deadline: June 15th, 2008
Prizes:
1st Prize Best of Show $300.00
2nd Prize $200.00

Disclaimers: Decisions of the jurors are final and indisputable;
since this is a subjective endeavor, disputes will be considered frivolous
and petty. By entering the Tacoma Art Supply First Tacoma Summer &

prosecution and to settle any disputes though mediation of the jurors. Any
errors in organizing this show and competition will be corrected as soon
as possible and noted on our website and apologies made. Please be patient
as we learn from our first show. Entry fee money will be used to pay for
prizes, tent, and gratuities; any remaining money will go to a fund to
"up-the-ante" for the next year's competition, start a non-profit art show
organization, and hopefully to expand into the new Tollefson Plaza and
make Tacoma the center of the art universe. Any money not used for next
year's competition will go to a local worthy art related non-profit
organization to be decided by a panel of previous jurors. Entry Forms can be downloaded here
