You must be a member of GAEA in good standing. All members are allowed to submit two artworks for the annual exhibit.

For more information joining or renewing your membership, visit our membership page.

Since we exhibit at the capitol, we hope to invite the legislators for the schools who are represented in the Capitol Art Exhibit.

To find your legislator, visit the Plural Policy site. The Upper chamber refers to the Georgia senators and the lower to the Georgia representatives.

Use the address of your school to find the legislators. You will need the legislator’s district number and email address.

We ask that you email the legislator, but we will also email an invitation.

We rely on a gmail account for all Capitol Art Exhibit correspondence. If you school/district restricts gmail accounts, then you need to email the coordinators with a different email address.

The artworks need to be 2D - drawings, painting, collages, photographs, etc. Submit work 24"x30" or smaller. 

••Matted only - no frames, foamboard, or glass The display structure can not support these. Any framed artwork will not be displayed.

Consider whether the student and family can be present at the exhibition. Attendance is not mandatory, but it is a great way to advocate for the Arts with legislators.

The photos are used to determine whether the subject matter meets the requirements of the Georgia Building Authority.

The photos will also be entered into the digital gallery.

Requirements: Make sure you have taken a well-lit photo of the artwork. It does need to be cropped for displaying in our virtual exhibit. In other words, make sure all but the artwork has been cropped from the image. 

File Name: Image file name should follow this naming convention.

SchoolName_TeacherLastName_StudentLastName_StudentFirstInitial. 

Example: Riverwood_Meyer_Jones_M

Acceptance in the exhibit must meet these two conditions:

• GAEA member in good standing

• Subject matter of the artworks follows the Georgia Building Authority guidelines

Your name will appear on the Exhibit Acceptance form once your verification is completed. All submissions will be verified by February 10.

If you still have questions, email the exhibit coordinators.

Please contact your District President to arrange delivery and pick-up.

Sometimes district permissions can prevent you from uploading images to a Google form. If this happens, please email the images to GAEA.CapitolArtExhibit@gmail.com.

Make sure to include the following in the email:

• Teacher name

• School and District information

• Student names

The submission form was open from January 5-February 5. We are currently verifying submissions. If you would like to put your name on our waitlist. Please email the exhibit coordinators.

The teacher number is how the volunteers organize your student artworks for setup and dismantling of the exhibition. It is based on your District and when you are accepted into the exhibit.

The numbers will be posted by February 10th to the Capitol Art Exhibit page. For further questions, email the coordinators.

We use the district number to coordinate the exhibit. It also helps the volunteers organize your works by geographic regions which should make it easier for the legislators to find your works during the reception.
