MoonTree requests a 30 percent commission on sales. Northern Indiana Pastel Society will not accept financial liability for accidents or loss.
The art must be 80 percent pastel. There is no size restriction. The art must be framed under glass and installed with hooks and wire. Frames and mats must be in good condition and free of pastel dust. Content must be appropriate for a family gallery space. The art should not have been shown in a previous NIPS exhibit or at MoonTree. Participants must be NIPS members. Dues of $25 can be sent to treasurer Sue Coultas, 519 Woodruff, Niles MI 49120. Dues paid 2020-2021 will be current through March 2022.
MoonTree is about an hour from South Bend so we will need help transporting art for those who cannot deliver their art. Carpooling is encouraged when attending the reception. For questions about the show or help transporting art to the show, contact
