Jury, Selection Process and Artist Notification:

The artistic work submitted by each artist is juried based upon the following criteria:

1.  Body of Work:  How well the images represent a point of view

2.  Artistic Theme:  Design, vision, creativity, originality

3.  Technical Execution:  Technique, skill, degree of difficulty, mastery of materials used

The jury will identify which pieces have been accepted and which have been eliminated.  Once pieces have been accepted and checked in, CCHA reserves the right to:
1.  Hang/display pieces or place them in reserve at its discretion.
2.  Hang/display pieces in locations that are deemed suitable.
3.  Request additional pieces from artists if their work sells out.

Artists who have registered online through www.artatthemill.artcall.org will receive acceptance details by email.
