MBPAPA General Membership Show
Eligibility: Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters Association (MBPAPA) members who have paid their 2023 dues. For further information please see our website - Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters Association Fine Art (mbpapa.org)
Exhibition Description: The exhibition is a joint project of MBPAPA and the Natividad Medical Foundation.
- Paintings are to be inspired by plein air. That means sketches, small painting or the original painting must be created on site. The theme is to highlight the agricultural industry of California.
- They may not have been exhibited in a prior MBPAPA show
- All paintings will be hand delivered to the show, framed. There is no need for hanging devices. They will not be used. The paintings’ dimensions can be of any size. Canvas wrap is not acceptable.
All paintings must be for sale, with 70% of the sales revenue going to the artist and 30% going to Natividad Medical Foundation’s Spiritual Care Fund. Please price your art accordingly. There will be no later change of price once the painting has been juried in.
Please note: In addition to the usual information on the back of your painting, each piece should have a removable label on the Front of each work with title and name of artist. These “stickies” will be removed once the wall labels are up.
Location: This exhibit will be hosted by Natividad Medical Foundation and will be hung on the second floor of Natividad Medical Center, near the Foundation offices. The show will hang for approximately one year.
