We recognizes that some work is non-traditional and incorporates the framing as an integral part of the presentation. All accepted images submitted for exhibition must be printed and framed or mounted professionally. Also, for the convenience of those not living in Minnesota we offer optional printing and framing services. Additional information will be provided upon acceptance into the exhibit.
