The following releases are required before we can publish your Exhibit online. We need to keep these releases on file for as long as your work is published on our website. At the bottom of this page is a File Upload tool exhibitors can use to send completed releases to the administration team.

Photography Release of Use Form

The Photograph Release of Use Form grants us permission to publish the photos you upload to your exhibit page with the text you write there. The written text is covered in the second release form below. The photograph release form does not specify the amount of time you are allowing us to display your photos. That is covered by the Creative Works Release form below.
