Eligibility for Members’ Exhibition
Eligibility is for all Petaluma Arts Center members. If you're not a member of PAC, we invite you to join today: PAC Memberships. Memberships start at only $50, with discounts for seniors and students. Of special note is our Artist Member category, which also provides professional educational opportunities to meet and learn among other artists.

Artwork Submissions for Members’ Exhibition
Submit one piece of art that best represents you. We welcome painting, sculpture, collage and multimedia, photography, ceramics, textiles, metalwork and jewelry. (Digital artists, contact lance@petalumaartscenter.org to determine whether PAC can accommodate your work). Maximum size is 30" x 40" for two-dimensional work (frame included). For three-dimensional work, we request that your art weigh under 30 pounds and is no larger than a 3'x 3' base. All two-dimensional art must be framed, wired and ready to hang. No sawtooth hangers please. If your work is not framed, then edges must be finished for professional presentation.
Prior to dropping off your work, please complete our online google form (click here for form) for artist and artwork information.
We also request that you print and sign the loan and liability release form (download here) and bring it with you when you drop off your work. Completing these two steps in advance helps PAC immensely in organizing the exhibition and decreases your wait time when you drop off your artwork. Thank you, in advance, for completing this step. Submission fee is $25, payable at drop-off.
