Exhibitions

Exhibiting Requirements for Online Exhibits Only:

TRA will have two competition categories for the 2027 online exhibits. An artist may enter in only category in a specific exhibit.

Open exhibit

• Be your own original work based on your image or composition and completed within the last 5 years. Any photos used for composition, design, etc. must be taken by the artist and not by someone else, including photos found on the internet, in a magazine or from another artist (even with permission). Using photos as references for accuracy of depiction (like animal anatomy, for example) taken by someone else is OK so long as the composition of the final artwork is of your creation and not of that photograph.
