What do I need to do if I want to show some of my artwork at ASA
Kathy Cope is ASA’s Gallery Coordinator. She changes the artwork every January, April, July and October. There is also a juried annual membership show, which includes all members including Basic Membership. Emails are sent out to all members instructing the day to deliver artwork, at the end of the months of December, March, June and September.
What are the rules for display ready art?
Proper D-Hooks and Picture Wire are required to hang your artwork. A release form needs to be filled out, signed and filed in a binder. Tags need to be filled out with your name, title, media and price, and affixed to the back of each artwork. This is how you will get paid when your art sells. A Title card with your name, title, media and price also needs to be filled out and placed with each artwork left on the tables in the gallery, to be hung by Kathy Cope on the designated dates.
How much artwork can I show with the $50.00 annual membership?
One to three pieces depending on the size: One painting up to size 24’X36”, or two up to size 16’X20”, or three up to 9’X12”. For 3-D artwork you will need to consult Kathy Cope.

Members will receive emails to remind them, and when we have them, they are still the last Tuesday of the month from 6:00 to 7:30, unless notified otherwise.

There is food, drinks and discussion about ASA, updates on any changes, and a chance to ask the Board Members questions. In December, new Board Members can be elected.
