Special Rules for the Show at the Betsy Lueke Creative Art Center. Review them carefully.

PLEASE NOTE: Maximum size of artwork: 48” high x 36” wide. Gallery space allows for a maximum of 60-80 paintings/wall art depending on size. There are approximately 40 pedestals available for sculpture/pottery. To accommodate as many artists as possible, consider turning in a 3D art piece that can utilize the gallery pedestals. Please plan your artwork accordingly. (A layout of the gallery and all pedestal dimensions is available, if needed.)

“The Betsy Lueke Creative Arts Center is a Municipal Gallery under the auspices of the Burbank Park, Recreation and Community Services Department. The purpose of the Gallery is to offer the community of Burbank an experience in art viewing as well as the opportunity for artists to display their work. We strive to present a variety of art experiences. All work must be appropriate for viewers of all ages as this Gallery is part of a multi-purpose Art Center.  No nudes will be accepted.”
