Large Scale refers to a size of an object in relation to another and is one of the principles of organizing structural elements in art and design. Often “large scale” in art refers to the size of a work in relationship to the human body. The Big Painting Show invites artists who work large-scale to submit works with a minimum size 30" by 30" not inclusive of frame.
This is a juried art show with cash prizes!

· Open to any paint mediums – acrylic, oil, watercolor, or any combination of paint mediums
• All artwork must be for sale.
• All artwork entered must be original creations by the artist, completed within the past three years, and not in violation of copyright or trademark protections from any other artist.
• Entry into this exhibit is not guaranteed, and no more than two pieces from any one artist will be accepted in the jurying process.
