The Airport Exhibition is open to all RAA Members in good standing.

 

For the Airport Exhibition, since its duration is one year, we expect exhibitors to maintain their membership for the full duration of the exhibition. Thus if you know your membership will expire during the exhibition and you do not plan to renew – we would hope you would not enter in the yearlong exhibition.

• Entries must be submitted online with photographs.  No walk-in entries on Installation day.  If you need help submitting your online entry please write us at airport-exhibit@redwoodart.net

• 2-D Work has to be ready to hang.  This means framed with a hanging wire (not a sawtooth or other hanger).  If you need help preparing for hanging please contact us at airport-exhibit@redwoodart.net  

 

The Airport would like to have our art displayed in groupings, or clusters in a salon style.  This will give it a more living room feeling within the airport seating.  They’d also like us to spot the exhibition to have a continuity of themes; grouping colors, styles, or topics.  Pieces that look good together would be great.  They are also requesting, not mandatory but appreciated, for Humboldt scenes, redwoods, beaches etc.

 

Three works can be entered by each artist.  In the event space is limited we may need to drop your third entry.  Otherwise, all works will be included in the exhibition so bring your best!  Frame and mat color are not restricted, but please make tasteful choices for a public venue!    RAA and the Airport reserves the right to deny submitted artworks inappropriate for a public venue.

All work needs to adhere to RAA format listed below:

 

2-D Artwork Information

• Your entry must be at least 16” x 20”.  Larger images are encouraged.

• Non-skid material (or bumpers) on the corners will help reduce movement and protect walls from scuffing.

• You must attach a strong hanging wire to your frame:  Artwork must be ready for hanging with strong hanging wire, or professionally installed picture cord, securely attached to a strong frame.  No sawtooth hangers.  Link to training video - wiring 2-D artwork.

  • Braided wire, aluminum, non-stretch cord, non-stretch plastic or coated wire, hereafter referred to as “wire”, must be used.  No string or rope should be used.

  • Attach D-rings not eye hook fasteners for the wire about ⅓ of the way down from the top of the frame.  Wind the wire tightly at least four times after running through the hangers.  If possible, wrap ends of wire in such a way that handlers are not cut by the sharp edges.  Electrical tape is a material that works well.  The apex of the wire when pulled taut should be two inches below the top of the frame.  Again, do not use sawtooth hangers or spring clips.

 

3-D Artwork Information

Pedestals: 3-D work must be able to sit securely on one of the Airport pedestals which have protective plexiglas covers.  We encourage you to go to the airport and look at the different sized pedestals so you will know the artwork sizes you can submit.

 

Terms of Artwork Sales

RAA will take a 30% commission to be split with the Airport for each sale of work exhibited.  This commission is due to RAA regardless of the source of the sale.  Please take this into consideration when pricing and selling your work. 

 

We will be listing the prices for the art in the exhibition, or NFS.  Each artist is responsible for managing the sale and any sales tax as required for their work. 

 

If the work needs to be mailed out of the area, the artist is responsible for packaging and mailing costs.  When a sale is made the artist needs to replace the art with a similar sized piece, so we don’t have to rehang the exhibition.

 

Installation Day Plan

Currently, plan on bringing your work to the Arcata-Eureka Airport on Monday, June 8th between 10am and 12 noon.  If the date has to be changed due to outside influences there will be an announcement to that effect as far in advance as possible.  Please note: we cannot accept walk-in entries on Installation Day, all entries must be submitted online by the May 29th, 2026 7pm deadline.
