"BEACHSTONE HAPPENINGS"
QUARTERLY RE-HANG
Hi, Folks,
Our next quarterly rehang is scheduled for Wednesday, October 5 with a gallery reception to follow on Friday, October 7 from 5:00-7:00. This reception will coordinate with both the Pacific Artists’ Co-op Gallery and with the new display at the Chessman Gallery in the Cultural Center. It should be a very enjoyable evening.
I am happy to report that Richard Sogn has offered to be Gallery Coordinator and will be working with me on this rehang to familiarize himself with the process.
For new members and members with short memories, let me review Gallery rules for displaying your art in Beachstone Gallery:
1. 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 will have the privilege of becoming a Featured Artist for one month out of the year, giving you free publicity in local publications and the use of the mantel area for your art display during your chosen month.
2. Art intake will begin Friday, September 30 and continue through Monday, October 3. All artwork needs to be at the Gallery by 5:00 pm on Monday evening and will not be accepted after that. If circumstances are such that you need to make a special arrangement to bring your work to the Gallery outside of that schedule, please call me at the number below by Monday evening to discuss other arrangements.
Please refer to the Gallery Rules and Regulations found in the member's section under the Beachstone Gallery area, for any additional questions/answers.
3. 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 utility room area 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 at your request. 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 October hanging.
The current size 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”)
1 piece of generously sized art (up to 36 inches on one side).
The number of pieces we are able to hang will be influenced by both the size and the number of pieces that are submitted. If we have a large number of artists bringing work in, we may have to cut back on the number of pieces each artist may display. However, we will do our best to be equitable and to display your artwork to the best advantage.
4. A table will be set up at the back of the room with forms and labels. The ASA Hold Harmless form must be updated annually. Use the intake form to record artwork that is being brought in or taken out. Each piece of artwork needs to have a small label filled out and taped to the back of your piece to be used by the Co-op for recording purposes when a sale happens. We also have beautiful new display labels that are edged in black so that we no longer need to use the separate black background sheet.
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. However, if you are notified that a piece or your art has sold, you are welcome to bring in a replacement piece.
Thank you,
Kathy Cope, acting Chair
