Spring 2023 All Member Exhibition
For this spring’s show, we will be taking an artist-by-artist approach to curating the art. This means, each artist’s work will be treated like a unit and hung/installed in the same location.
Visitors will naturally be curious why you selected the work that you did, so we will be collecting short artist statements from everyone to print and hang near your work. The artist statement will be part of the online inventory form that’s familiar to most of you. This is a Google form that asks you to enter basic information about each artwork you’re submitting (title, year, price, etc). The link is below.
Exhibition Dates: Saturday, May 13–Sunday, July 16
Opening reception: Saturday, May 13 from 2 to 4 p.m.
Artwork drop off: Tuesday, May 2–Sunday, May 7 (10 a.m.–5 p.m.)
Artwork Pick-up: Saturday, July 15, Sunday, July 16 and Monday, July 17 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m.*
