a) Enter the indicated information in the Sales Art Logbook for each piece you submit. The book is placed on the front table in the studio.
b) Fill out the small, temporary white labels provided with your name, media, artwork title and price; and attach it to the front of the artwork. - Take your artwork with the completed temporary label attached into the main gallery and set it on the floor leaning against the wall where the hanging committee will find it. All hanging artwork must be framed and have a hanging wire on the back; no sawtooth hangers are permitted. Artwork “must” be picked up after one month in the Main Gallery, or two months if the Main Gallery Manager is notified and gives approval.
- If you are the Featured Artist of the Month, please review the document titled “Featured Artist of the Month” to learn what you need to do and contact Main Gallery Manager to let her know how much space you will need before they hang the show.
