"BEACHSTONE HAPPENINGS"

Dear members,

It's time again to submit your beautiful art for our Beachstone Gallery rehanging.

The Spring intake will begin the weekend of Friday, April 8 through, Monday, April 11th by 5 p.m. Unfortunately, we will not yet have an open reception following the new hanging.

We have several new members at ASA we need a quick Gallery review:

To qualify as a "member with display privileges" you must be up to date in the payment of your ASA membership fees of $50.00. This not only qualifies you to participate in the quarterly Gallery hangings but secures a bin for matted art pieces and a shelf on the card gallery. In addition, you can also sign up to be a Featured Artist of the month, giving you free publicity in local publications and the use of the mantel area for your art display during your chosen month. Right now I still have an opening in October, November, and December.

Gallery rules reminder:  Your art must have the required hanging hardware attached to the piece. (no saw tooth hangers) We will not accept bulky, or heavy pieces to be hung on the walls due to liability concerns for your art and others' safety.

Please place your protected art under the copy machine, in the Intake room area, in marked space, or, on available tables in the Studio, if there is room. There will be a table with instructions and items you will need to use. Fill out your forms following the instructions. If you had art in the previous show, remove it at that time and take it home, we do not keep/store your past art pieces. We can rehang your last art, be sure to remove it from the former wall area, add a note to the piece with that "request", and put it on a table or intake area. Do not forget to check it out and back in, on the forms, for the April hanging.

The current guidelines are as follows: 3 pieces of small art (up to 9" X 12"); 2 pieces of medium-sized art (up to 16 X 20), one small and one medium; or 1 piece of generously sized art (up to 36 inches on one side).

We will strive to display your art in a pleasing manner. Only the gallery committee is permitted to organize or display art. If you have questions or suggestions for the committee, please contact the gallery chair. No additional display equipment may be brought into the Gallery unless arranged through the Gallery chair. Please note: Members may not move any art (their own or others) once the display is hung up by the Gallery chair/chairs.                                     

Please refer to the Gallery Rules and Regulations found in the member's section under the Beachstone Gallery area, for any additional questions/answers.

Thank you, let's make a colorful Spring Splash in our Beachstone Gallery!
