Rules for Monthly Take-in

 

These instructions are for the monthly wall art only.

 

• The Monthly Show art changes each month. When you come to the Gallery for take-in please have your temporary take-in tag and take-in sheet (PDF files sent along with The Paint Rag) filled out.

 

• Three pieces of artwork are allowed if space permits.

 

• Your work must have some identification on the back.

 

• Do not bring in wet paintings or frames.

 

• Giclee’s are acceptable as long as they are well marked, but will not be

included in the judging.

 

• A 10% commission will be charged on sales from the monthly wall art (same rate as all other art in the gallery), plus a 5.4% credit card fee if a credit card is used for the purchase.

 

• Work must be framed unless you use the wrap-around canvas stapled in back.

 

• The wire should be the multi-strand wire (not the saw-toothed hanger

typical of ready-made frames) attached as per the Picture Hanging System 3-22-08 document attached.

 

• Please tape the ends of the wire, and please don't put tape or tubing in the middle of the wire.

 

• If your work, including frame, measures:

 under 17” on the diagonal the fee is $10.00,

17” to 36” on the diagonal, the fee is $15.00.

over 36” on the diagonal, your fee is $20.00.

 

Measure carefully.

 

• Artists may show 1 or 2 or 3 pieces depending on available gallery wall space.

 

• Be sure your work looks as nice as it can, with clean, well put-together frame, clean glass and a well-cut mat.

 

• The Take-in committee reserves the right to refuse entries that do not meet gallery standards.
