Seniors in High School are often 18 or older. a nude painted *by* a minor is different and I'm sure we would accept such a painting, but if the nude subject is a minor that would require more debate. however…sorry, I didn’t realize the image of the nude in question was a painting *of* a minor.

The Exposed: Nudes in Art show was organized by Sculptor, Jim Fatata of Litmus Studios and Gallery in Raleigh and a requirement for entry is that there be nudity in the work. We are up front about the requirement for nudity and disclose to anyone trying to enter work that may not be nude enough because we don't want them to waste an entry fee on a show their work isn't appropriate for. We, as jurors, have turned down work that wasn't nude enough. This is a bit of an answer back to all those shows that take the money and waste the time of struggling artists and don't disclose up front that they choose to discriminate against nude art.
