Submission Guidelines

• All work must be for sale, with 70% of sales going to the artist and 30% go to support the work of the LVAA.

• All artists participating must live/work in the Santa Barbara County.

• Each artist may include up to three pieces in the show.

​

All pieces must be 12"x12" inches in size, no larger no smaller. The distance from the wall can be up to 5". All pieces must be ready to hang, with hanging hardware attached.
​

• ​​The size of the piece includes any frame or hanging hardware.

• If it’s in a frame the outside edges of the frame should be 12“ x 12“ exactly.

• If it’s not in a frame the outside edges of the piece should be 12“ x 12“ exactly.

• 5” deep is the maximum depth but not a required depth. The piece can be flat.

No glass please. Plexiglass or other nonbreakable materials are fine if work is framed. 

What hanging hardware is required? All pieces must be ready to hang with a gallery wire. "Ready to hang" means each piece should sit flush to the wall and not require adjustments by the show crew beyond placing the piece on a nail.

​​What does "local" mean? If you want to get specific, we are emphasizing artists in Santa Barbara County at this time. You must drop off and pick up your work yourself. And hopefully, attend the party!

All pieces should be dry. 

No print reproductions (such as giclee). No AI software created works. Failure to do so may result in being excluded from this and future shows with the LVAA.​

Hello art enthusiasts and animal lovers,

March is just around the corner, and at Cypress Gallery, we're gearing up for our annual "Cats Rule" show – a celebration of feline artistry that's sure to leave you feline fine!

What's the fuss about? Every year, we invite our community to join in the fun by decorating cat blanks. It's a paw-some opportunity to showcase your artistic talents while contributing to a vibrant and purr-sonal exhibition.

Paint, decorate, accessorize – make it truly yours. Completed cat blanks must be returned to the gallery by the end of February to be featured in the exhibition.

When's the grand reveal? The gallery will come alive with whisker-twitching excitement in March 3rd for the grand reception from 1 to 3 p.m. Join us for an afternoon of art, laughter, and maybe even a surprise visit from a furry friend or two!

But wait, there's more! All the beautifully adorned cats will be on display and available for purchase throughout the entire month of March. Don't miss your chance to take home a unique piece of feline-inspired art!
