Open to all media including, but not limited to, acrylic, ceramic, drawing, fiber/textile, glass, jewelry, mixed media, metal, oil, pastel, photography, printmaking, watercolor and wood.

All 2D work must be properly & securely wired and ready to hang. Backs of framed artwork must be neatly papered. If framing pastels without matting, you must use frame spacers to separate the glass from the art. If pastels are framed with a mat, please use a spacer between your mat and your art.
Simple frames are preferred, acceptable colors: black & any dark wood. A limited number of handcrafted gold and white gold frames will be accepted but they must be pre-approved.
Mats: neutral white, acid free (like Bainbridge 8655), colored filets ok, and either double 4-ply or single 6 or 8-ply mats.

ABOUT TACFA:
Founded in 1992, the Tustin Area Council for Fine Arts (TACFA) funds and administers programs which expand the arts in the greater Tustin, California area, and enrich the entire community. The Council raises funds through individual and corporate contributions and fundraising events. These funds subsidize elementary students’ participation in The Art Master’s program, support students’ creativity and interest in the arts, and allow TACFA to produce an annual, affordable and live production of a classic Broadway musical at a local outdoor venue.
While practicing sound fiscal management and keeping operating costs low, the Council is continually expanding existing programs, seeking new revenue streams, and investigating new programs that will create community through the arts.
