Exhibition Rules

The Badlands Art Show is an open show.  An “open” show means that you do not have to pass a judge to get in the show. You must submit an ENTRY FORM prior to the show to have your work entered into the show.
The Badlands Art Association is a small group; this is our major event for the year.  We do the show in order to offer artists of all abilities the opportunity to showcase their work and to give the public a chance to see the wide range of art being created in our area.

Student Division

The student show is organized by our local elementary, middle, and high school art teachers. Students may enter 2 pieces of art work in the student section, grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. Entry fees are $1 per piece entered. For student entry forms, contact Rebecca Ferderer at 701-495-8402 or rebecca.ferderer@gmail.com.

Artist Division

Anyone is eligible to enter up to six works of art in the Professional or Amateur divisions.  An Entry Fee will be charged per item entered, $7 for Professional or Amateur divisions. Work deemed inappropriate for this exhibit will not be hung.  The final decision for hanging will be the show chairperson.

To the Artists

    • All works must be created by you, the artist.
    • You must submit a Call to Entry Form listing the artwork that you intend to enter. prior to the show.
    • No kits, patterns or prints are allowed.
    • Copies and works created under instruction (a workshop or other) are permitted – BUT MUST BE LABELLED AS SUCH.
      How to do this?
      A copy (often of a famous work) might read,
      Title:  Mona Lisa (after daVinci).
      Artist line: Your name as the artist.
      A work created “under instruction” – most often a workshop – would be titled “Whatever Title Name” (with Name of Instructor).

      For example:
      Title: “Landscape” (with Sam Coleman)
      Artist: Full Name

      If you have any questions or need assistance, contact the show chairperson, Tod Winter at 701-260-9504 or todmwinter@ndsupernet.com.
