Our first trial with Out of the Box as a gallery for LAG went well. We have already sold a painting. Once we start advertising, we hope to do much better. We have some new members since we started this show opportunity, so I want them to be aware of the show. All members are able to enter the show as long as the rules listed below are followed.
Jody Strauch, Co-Owner of “Out of the Box” has offered LAG gallery space in her store. The new gallery is a mix of architectural material (Jody’s business) and fine art (LAG) that will complement each other. People looking for architectural stuff can also view the fine art. And those who come to see the art may also find some architectural items.
LAG members wishing to sell their art work can display it at the gallery. Jody will make the sale and collect the money and sales tax. There will be a 25% commission charge. LAG will not be charging any additional fees at this time.
Please read the requirements carefully. If you have any questions, please call a board member.
1. Must be a current member of LAG
2. Must fill out biography sheet for gallery artist bio book
3. Need to sign waver against fire or damage to art work
4. Send an email with 4-5 picture of artwork to Jody for approval at jodystrauch@msn.com Jody works in the store only on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 10:00 a.m. so if you are going to take art work for Jody to see it will have to be on those days. Even if she says all five are approved, please leave only the number that LAG asked for as we want everyone to have a chance to show. If more art is needed, we will let you know. Keep a list of your approved work so that you can show it at another time. The number of pieces allowed will be announced closer to the change date.
5. Drop your approved art work at gallery and pick up previous work by designated date.
6. We may leave art work at the gallery for two months. Make sure you have filled out tags for your work showing the name of the piece, your name, phone# and email on the back of the art piece. All cards for work must be the same, using the cards that were emailed to you. Hand the cards in with your work- but do not tape to work.
7. Price artwork realistically and allow for 25% commission. All work must be for sale or offer prints.
8. Artist will receive payment for sold art at the end of each month
9. All artwork must be professionally framed for hanging
10. A hanging committee will hang all art work.
11. Negative gallery 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.
