FULL
TEXT OF RULE 8: No entry may include full frontal nudity (either gender),
nor may it contain overly religious images (such as a crucifixion) , nor
may it contain what may deemed by members of the public as explicitly
racist content. These conditions are due to the fact that Visual Arts
Brampton is a community art group, exhibiting in a high-traffic area of
a public mall. While Visual Arts Brampton Artway (organizers of the Snail
Mail Show) and Shoppers World (host of the display space) want artists
to have full creative license, neither party wishes to offend the general
public.
