Art
on the Walls
| |
The
Arts Council's new office has walls that need to
shout arts loud and clear, and there's no
better way to do that than to feature work created
by local and regional artists! |

Eligibility |
| |
This
program is open to artists who work in two dimensional
formats including printmaking, photography, fiber,
painting and drawing. While we are unable to facilitate
the displaying of sculpture, lightweight sculptures
will be considered as long as they can be displayed
on the wall. Artwork must be appropriate for the
general public. |

Installation
Process |
| |
The
Arts Council will give the artist drop off and pick
up dates and times. The artist is responsible for
dropping off and picking up their work in a timely
manner. All work must be ready to hang. The work
will be hung professionally and insured by the Arts
Council during the exhibition dates only, not during
shipping or transportation. The Arts Council can
not provide storage for your work, nor will the
Arts Council be responsible for work left behind.
If exhibiting artist would like to present new work,
different than the work submitted in this application,
they must first notify the Arts Council at least
4 weeks prior to installation date and present the
new work for review. The review does not guarantee
acceptance of the new work. |

Sales |
| |
All
sales will be handled by the Arts Council and will
be subject to a 15% commission fee. Proceeds will
support administration of this program and potentially
Artist
Opportunity Grants. Artist bio and price list
will be made available to the visiting public. When
a work sells, the exhibiting artist will receive
notice via email with the buyer's contact info.
The exhibiting artist will receive payment within
two weeks of the purchase. The buyer will be able
to pick up their purchased work only after the exhibit
closes. |
