SIGNAGE
The artist is welcome to make a sign that includes a bio on a 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper. This will get hung on the left-hand side of the artwork. If you would prefer to do a different style of sign, please notify us in advance. All materials must be hung with blue tape. We will not have the ability to display extra materials, so please include all of the necessary contact information in the welcome sign.
HANGING/DISPLAY MATERIALS
We do our best to keep our walls fresh for each artist. We do this by only using our specific hanging system and blue tape. We do not allow any other kinds of tape, glue paint, tacks, nails, screws, or anything else that would change the appearance of the wall.
The hanging system is dynamic and has many different fastening brackets that make hanging quick, easy, and versatile. Please ensure you alert us to your specific needs prior to hanging your work with this system.
GALLERY TAGS FOR ARTWORK
For easy viewing each artwork should have its own gallery tag where viewers can learn more about the work. These tags should be printed on cardstock with a font size between 18-22 points.
Tags should list information the following format:
Title of Piece (Title of work should be italicized)
Materials used in artwork (list with commas separating materials)
Year the artwork was completed
Cost if for sale
TIMELINE
A staff member will meet with you when you have all of your materials ready to hang to provide a demonstration on using the hanging system. From there, you are welcome to hang your show. It is helpful to bring someone with you to assist.
