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. 

Sales Allocation:

The Clarke County Historical Association (CCHA) is a non-profit dedicated to preserving the history of Clarke County, including the Burwell-Morgan Mill.  CCHA hosts and administers Art at the Mill.
CCHA receives 40% of the sales price of each piece, which helps fund the continued maintenance and operation of the Burwell-Morgan Mill and the Historical Association as well as the Sarah P. Trumbower Memorial Art Scholarship given annually to a Clarke County student who is pursuing a degree in art.  The artist receives 60% of the sale price.
