Label information for accepted work for the 2018 Second Annual Global Warming is REAL exhibition needs to be supplied two times in slightly different formats.
- A label must be firmly attached to the back or bottom of your piece (if the piece is 3-d). This is for identification of your piece. This label should include your name, title of piece, your shipping address, your telephone number, your email address, and name of exhibition this piece has been submitted for. Please also mark the shipping box/container with your name, title of piece, and name of exhibition, for easy identification.
- You will need a separate gallery label which will hang on the gallery wall near your piece. Email this information to: eainm.info@gmail.com no later than June 21. Be sure to include all requested information in full, do not leave any information out. If you have not sent this information in full by the June 21 deadline, you will delay the installation of the exhibit and your piece may not be hung. Also, the label information should match what you submitted as the description of your piece in your entry. Your label will have the following information in this order and format: Title of piece, Artist name as you which it to appear (i.e. if you use a different name than you used in your application, or use a middle initial or if you have a compound/married/maiden name), two-letter abbreviation of the state you live (or country, if you live outside of the US), medium used, including the substrate (make this information complete but concise, for example, “encaustic on cradled birch panel” or “encaustic mixed media on paper”). It is not necessary to list every material used, please note the media used, but keep in mind this information needs to fit on a small wall label. Optional: You may wish to include a link to your artist website with your label information for interested collectors to see more of your work.
Pricing and sales: Updated information regarding sales for Global Warming is REAL exhibition: Last year we had several requests for pricing information, so we kept a list of prices available on request. This year, we will post signs throughout the exhibit, that some artwork is for sale, and to request that information.

We also think it would be a benefit to viewers of the exhibit to know the message or intent of the artist when creating their piece, especially as it relates to Global Warming. In other words, to see the painting through your eyes. We would mount your writing with your painting. It is not a requirement, but if you are so inclined to write something, please keep it to one or two paragraphs at the most, and email your statement to Mehrens@eainm.com
