WAIVER- Please read carefully, your delivery signifies agreement with NAWA. Please sign at the bottom, and include it with your delivery to the Bank. My application for entry into the Flushing Bank exhibition entitled, “Contrast”, located at 225 Park Ave South, New York NY 10003 or 217 Havemeyer Street, Brooklyn NY 11211, binds me to the agreement as stated below, and I am to hold available said artwork from date of acceptance, the week of May 25, 2026 - August 31, 2026.
In consideration of the display of my artwork, I hereby declare I am the owner and creator of the original artwork being submitted by me, both as to the artwork's physical manifestation and the copyright of the artwork. I accept full responsibility for any casualty of any kind while in the National Association of Women Artists, Inc. (NAWA) Flushing Bank Exhibition.
Original art based upon another’s intellectual property is not eligible for entry in NAWA exhibitions, even if permission has been obtained from the source.
Artwork generated through artificial intelligence based upon a third party's intellectual property will not be accepted.
Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) assisted, as a minor component (not entirely AI generated or underpainted) and digital media are acceptable if labeled with “digital” and/or “AI assisted” somewhere in the medium label. Original digital artwork IS acceptable as a fine-quality printout.
If AI is determined by the submission and not declared, it will be disqualified. Please be honest about your chosen medium.
I understand that my work may not be included if it fails to meet professional presentation standards (as determined by the Exhibitions Committee), including but not limited to unprofessional framing, sawtooth hangers (must be professionally wired), or delivering wrong work.
I hereby waive any and all claims against the National Association of Women Artists, Inc., as well as their employees, officers, directors, and committee personnel. Nevertheless, for the purpose of this agreement, I agree that the stated value of the artwork shall be One U.S.Dollar (1 USD, $1), in the event of any loss or damage to the piece of artwork.
I agree to allow an image of my artwork to be exhibited or to be used without charge by NAWA for advertising and/or promotion in the furtherance of the Exhibition, and for other purposes including, but not limited to traditional media, social media, website, as well for public relations, prior to and/or during or after the Exhibition. In the case of the latter- after the exhibit, NAWA will ask permission if use is requested. Click the option above to refuse permission to use artwork on Social Media. The waiver still holds you to use for publicity on traditional media and the NAWA website.
My work is to be available for sale at the price hereinbefore agreed on. I agree that if my work is sold during the exhibition, I will pay NAWA Headquarters 30%, I will retain 70% of the selling price. For payments through the NAWA website (QR codes), PayPal fees 1.99% + .49 per transaction will be deducted from the price before commissions to the venue, NAWA, and the artist. If payment is made through NAWA database (by phone), fees may differ depending on the credit card used.

NAWA retains the right of discretion not to exhibit artworks if they do not meet the requirements of NAWA show standards, or contain any inflammatory or offensive materials.
