The show will hang through May 10, 2025. We ask that you consider other commitments before entering, as works displayed in the show may not be picked up prior to May 13, 2025. All artwork must be picked up no later than May 24, 2025. Any artwork left after that date will become property of CNB. Special arrangements can be made on a case by case basis. Every effort will be made to return entries in their original shipping packages. CNB is not responsible for damage during shipping. If returned artwork is damaged, a claim may be filed with the carrier for the insured amount. Please try to design your box for easy return and allow for sufficient packing on all sides to protect your work. Please be sure your name is on the box. CNB shall not be responsible for packing hand-carried entries.
