HOW TO SUBMIT
You will receive an email in the last week of June with a request to submit your work using a form. In that email you click on a link and it will give you a simple form to fill out. If you have not received an email (check your spam box) simply contact Annet Holierhoek at 604-701-7793. You will not need to fill out a paper submission form. The form needs to be returned before July 6th. No late submissions, as all labels will be printed in one batch.
WHEN TO PICK UP YOUR WORK
August 12 at 9:45
If you 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(July 9th)
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 (re hardware)
2. Go to the calendar and sign up for a gallery sitting shift during the show.
3. After submitting your work, please leave the gallery unless you are helping hang 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.
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 604-701-7793 (evening hours).
