FINE ARTS RULES
AND REGULATIONS
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged as
Covid-19 state and local health mandates
on building capacity may limit the number
of last minute walk in entries.
Please refer to DCF General Rules & Regulations in
front of Exhibitor/Premium Book.
" No advertisements or ads by professionals.
No organization advertisements.
" Do not put phone number on exhibitor tags.
" All items entered should have been
completed within the last two years and
not previously exhibited at the Deschutes
County Fair.
" The goal of the Fine Arts Department is to
encourage and reward original works of art and
to recognize art generated from non-original
sources. COPIED WORKS for youth classes
only. A work is a copy when the problems
of composition, color, and essence have
been resolved by another. Thus, a copy is an
unfair measure against an original work. No
paint-by-number.
" Adult Professional and Semi-Professional
sections and classes cannot accept works
generated from a classroom or TV setting.
Adult Amateur and Novice sections and
classes will accept works generated from
classroom and TV sources.
" Paint Nite Art Section: Must have been created
within the previous (one) year. All framing,
hanging, gallery wrap rules apply. “People’s
Choice” for paint nite work.
" Note change: Maximum size 36”x40”
(including frame). Minimum size 11”x14”
(including frame).
" If the minimum is less than either side
measurement, IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
(example 8”x20”).
Framing:
" All entries must be two dimensional
and ready to hang on a wall or they
will not be accepted. Paintings on jars
or saws may be accepted in Handcrafts
(Dept. O).
" All adult entries must be framed with wire
on back for hanging ~ no exceptions.
" Standard framing and matting with glass is
appropriate.
" Gallery wrap as a form of framing will be
accepted. (Gallery wraps – Canvas over
edges and stapled on back. Painting
is extended out and onto outer edges of
canvas).
" No saw tooth hung artwork will be
accepted. (Saw tooth - Metal hangers
commonly found at hardware stores.)
" All entries in youth classes must be
either framed with wire hangers or
matted with stiff backing (foam core).
No glued or stick-on hangers.
" If an entry is not hangable it will not be
accepted.
" Suitability of frame or neatness in matting
will be considered in accepting exhibits for
classes and judging - youth included.
" Superintendent has the discretion to
accept or deny entries. Each case will
be considered and discussed to the
satisfaction of parties involved. K. Stone
" No exhibitor will be allowed to enter work in
one medium (i.e. oil) as a professional and
another medium (i.e. pastel) as a novice.
" Attach name, address, phone number, and
name of section and class entered to back of
each exhibit. Hang completed exhibitor tags
with string in upper left-hand corner of artwork.
" No personal or other phone number on
exhibitor tags. Personal information goes
only on the back of the exhibit as directed.
" All entries must be in good taste. Nudes or
any material unsuitable for any age will not be
accepted. It is the Superintendent’s decision.
" Digital Art Photography (Photo enhancement):
Created with the aid of a computer with a
photo as a starting point. The computer
software programs have the tools to create
unique fine art as an end product.
" Computer Art: Original compositions not
enhanced photography.
" Mixed Media: When a minimum of two (2)
mediums are COMBINED to create a work of
art. For example, pencil plus pen and ink, or
pastel plus pencil plus collage. All works of
collage fit into mixed media classes.

for sale, art shows, or galleries, one who

art instruction to others, does work to be
