How to enter

Each conference attendee will be able to enter one piece in the show.

We ask that you plan what you would like to bring to Tacoma and pre-register your entry using the form below.

Your work must be hand delivered to Kitteridge Gallery, preferably between 1:00 and 5:00 pm on Tuesday July 22, or if necessary from 8:00 to 8:30 am on Wednesday, July 23.

All work MUST be picked up by 12:00 noon, on Saturday, July 26. At that time, we will be accepting work for the final exhibition of the conference, “A Week’s Work”. NBO cannot take responsibility for return shipping under any circumstances.

All sales inquiries will be referred to the artist. Should a sale occur as a result of this exhibition, rather than charging a commission, NBO requests the artist consider making a 20% donation to NBO. All details surrounding the sale of artwork, including tax and shipping, are the responsibility of the artist.

ALL participants are asked to approve photography rights and limit liability during the exhibition. Photos may be used on social media, on our website and in Basketry+ magazine.

Gallery hours will be posted during the conference. The gallery will be locked at all other times to secure the work. Neither NBO nor the University of Puget Sound will be providing insurance for this exhibition.

I understand that photos may be taken of the work, either in groups with other works or individually, for promotional purposes, and for use in NBO publications, NBO website, or on social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, for the sole purpose of promoting the NBO, its members and its mission.
