Slides must be less than three years old. A new set of slides is required each time a member goes through the slide review. All slides become the property of The Michigan Guild. A member who does not intend to participate in the Summer Art Fair may decide not to go through the review without jeopardizing either exhibiting status or wait list number. However, a member must be currently eligible, based on passing the slide review, in order to exhibit at the Summer Art Fair either as a booth holder or as a booth sharer.
Members are free to review in other than their assigned year.
However, members who review out of their assigned review year, even if they receive a pass in that review, must still review again with their assigned group. Appeals Members who fail the slide review, or receive a violation notice at the Summer Art Fair, have the right to appeal. Appeals must be made to the Standards Committee, in writing first, and must be postmarked no later that April 15 for slide review score appeals, or within thirty days of the artist receiving any other violation notice. Appeals may be made in person, by sending in samples, or by submitting additional slides, as well as in writing. If in person, presentations may last no longer than fifteen minutes.
