The exhibit will feature a wide range of mediums, including but not limited to: wood, stone, ceramic, glass, metal, fiber, and electronics. Both free-standing and wall pieces are encouraged. We want to see sculpture that best expresses the strength and spirit of your creative vision, style, and commitment to quality. Monetary awards will include $500 for best of show, $200 for first place, $150 for second place, $100 for third place, and certificates for five honorable mentions.

The exhibit will be juried by renowned Oregon bronze sculptor, Rip Caswell. Caswell‘s sculptures include realistic wildlife, people, and many highly-acclaimed monumental public works. One of Caswell’s many creative achievements include being selected to study and document in sculpture, the world’s most endangered animals for National Geographic.

The Gallery at Oregon Society of Artists is proud to announce the 12 X 12 Art Show and Sale. One of our most popular exhibits, the 12 x 12 features affordable artwork, all under $225. The 12x12 Art Show and Sale at OSA will highlight premier works that celebrate art and culture in all of its innumerable forms.

To participate in the 12 x 12 exhibitions, artists purchase blank wooden 12 x 12 panels from OSA that act as an entry fee. All artwork must be created on an OSA panel to be included in the show. Panels may be used in any way the artist sees fit, and submissions are open to all subject matter created. Each year we discover the creative possibilities of each artist starting with the same blank slate. After you have completed your new piece on your blank panel, use our image submission guidelines on page 2 to submit an image of your completed work to the OSA office by November 17th and call the office with your piece title, medium, and pricing information.

If your panel is unpainted, please varnish the surface and edges of the panel. The 12x12 Showcase entry fee is based on panels purchased from OSA by each artist. Maximum of 3 panels per artist. Panels are available on a first come first served basis. Show entry will close upon the sale of all panels.
