New Rules for Out Of the Box

Lincoln Artists’ Guild’s show opportunity with Jody Strauch, co-owner of “Out of the Box”, has made a few changes in her requirements for hanging at the store.  They will be enlarging the store in late November by renting the upper part of the store as well as the lower floor. ( However, the Halloween store will have a three month contract to rent the upper part for 3 months of the year until their contract is cancelled.)  This  means that we will have a front door exposure.  She wants to give us more space than what we have now, so start painting.  She really likes the large paintings.

The current requirements below may be subject to change.

  1. Must be a current member of Lincoln Artists’ Guild
  2. All work must be original work.  NO PRINTS
  3. All work must be for sale.
  4. Artist must fill out a bio sheet.
  5. Need to sign waver against fire or damage to art work
  6. Send 4-5 picture of original artwork to Jody to have work approved jodystrauch@msn.com   Jody works in the store only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so if you are going to take pictures or work for Jody to see it will have to be on those days.  She does get her emails every day.
  7. We can display art work that needs small easels (to set on a shelf not on the floor).  These will be supplied by the artist.
  8. Drop your approved art work by designated date and pick up previous work at same time if you do not wish to leave it longer.
  9. We can leave art work for at least two months or longer.
  10. Make sure you have filled out the correct cards for your work. Jody wants all cards to be the same.  Please do not use your own cards.  If you no longer have the email that contained the right cards, please let me know. Hand the cards in with the work.  Do not tape them to the work.
  11. All work must have your name, phone#, name of the piece and the price fastened on the back of the work.   This is the only way Jody will know what card belongs to what picture when they move things around.
  12. Price artwork to allow for 25% commission.
  13. Artist will receive payment for sold art at the end of each month
  14. All artwork must be professionally framed for hanging
  15. The hanging committee will hang all art work.
  16. Negative comments, complaints, etc. should be addressed through a LAG Board Member. (For example, if you do not like where your art got hung, do not complain to Jody)
