If work is not “gallery ready” or deemed unsafe for hanging, mounting or standing (whichever is applicable) risking possible damage to the event facility and/or the art itself, then the work will not be presented in the event during any of its dates. Artists with accepted MP3 or MP4 work, MUST provide a projector, screen, headphones, or any other technology or equipment necessary for patrons to view work. **If your work requires special handling, or has a unique hanging method or assembly please communicate this to our gallery director so that proper planning and attention can be allocated. (gallery@nudenite.com) PLEASE make sure your address on Café is updated.
