WHEN TO PICK UP YOUR WORK
March 18 at 9:45
When you have sold work, please make arrangements with your buyer to have the work picked up at that time (or make other arrangements). Your work can not stay in the gallery.

ON THE DAY OF SET UP (Feb 13)
1. Check at the check-in table in the gallery to check if your works are on the list. A member will check your work if it is suitable for hanging.
2. Go to the calendar and sign up to sit a few times during the dates of the show.
3. After submitting your work, please leave the gallery unless you are helping with hanging the show.

The jurying committee will then look at all the work with the following criteria guiding them:
– Is the work ready to hang regarding the hardware and the frame?
– Your work has not hung in the O’Connor Gallery 2 years prior to this show unless it has been reworked significantly.
– Does the work relate to the theme of the show? If in doubt, read the artist’s statement regarding their work.

Depending on the number and size of works submitted, the jury will decide how to best represent the theme of the show as a comprehensive exhibit. Thus, not all works submitted are guaranteed to be displayed. However, every attempt will be made to have all members who submit work represented.
If a work is not included in the exhibit, the member will be contacted to collect their work.

Any questions after reading this, call Annet 604-7017793 (evening hours).
