Artists in this show must be veterans from a U.S. military branch.
Artists must submit the following before artwork will be installed:

Value of art must be listed, even if the art is not for sale (NFS).
The artist must deliver art to City Hall and unpack it at the agreed date and time. Installation day is Monday, Oct. 27, 2025, from 4–5:30 p.m.
Hanging pieces must be backed with secured, sturdy hanging wire (D-rings or eyelet screws and sturdy wire work best). The gallery’s hanging system does not work with sawtooth hooks or other small hooks on the backs of frames.
Hanging art must be framed, when applicable. Art on canvas is not required to be framed, but edges must be finished. Tighten the wire so that the stretched wire sits approximately 3” below the top edge of the art and the hanger does not show when the art is hung.
3-D art must sit securely on own or have attachments to secure it.
Artist’s name and title of the piece should be marked on the back (or bottom) of the piece.
Art must remain displayed for the entire show, unless approved by the Lenexa Arts Council, and may be removed only by a member of the Lenexa Arts Council.
