Jury Process and Notification of Juror's Decision:
The jurying process will be conducted with consideration for juror discretion and the following constraint: the amount of physical space. Excessively large work or works in sets will decrease the total number of accepted works, thus they will be juried more stringently.
Acceptance Notifications will be sent by email via ArtCall. A list of accepted works will be posted outside the Department of Art + Design office as soon as possible after the jurying process.
