• All 2-D art work accepted for exhibition must be in “ready-to-hang”. All 3-D work must likewise be exhibition ready. The M.A.E.A. maintains the right to not exhibit work which is inappropriate for the venue or not consistent with the originally submitted digital image.
All 2-D & 3-D wall work will hang by wire from hooks secured in the building’s exhibit wall channel. We do not nail or screw into the exhibit walls.
All other 3-D work will be exhibited under 3’x3’ plastic cubes which sit on large dark wood pedestals. Smaller work including jewelry will be exhibited in a locked glass display unit. Large sculptures will be exhibited on individual open pedestals surrounded by exhibit ropes.
The exhibit space is a secure area of the Massachusetts State Transportation Building with 24 hours guards. M.A.E.A. will not be insuring the exhibit. Individual artists should insure their own work if appropriate and deemed necessary.
• We hope many student members of the M.A.E.A./N.A.E.A. and other students will want to join us in this effort to showcase the visual art work of future art educators of Massachusetts!Question: 617-973-7290 or
