Specifications

The theme of this year’s show is “Nature.” Each member may enter one (1) piece of work in the show. Your entry should reflect your very best work. It should not be work submitted from a previous annual exhibit. The work does not have to be in the same medium in which you are juried for the Guild fairs, but can be.

The exhibit will be held at Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center, Suite # 113, located at 1860 Mellwood Ave. from Sept. 9th through Sept. 26th. This time frame allows us to be open for the September Art Fair as well as for the F.A.T. Friday trolley hop. LAG is working on an arrangement that will enable your pieces to be sold. 1% of the sales will be paid to Mellwood Art & Entertainment Center as per our agreement.

All entries must be tagged with the artist’s name, phone number, title of work, price or NFS, and medium. Please include the same information on your entry form. The Gallery will prepare the labels that will hang with your piece. LAG has purchased liability insurance for this exhibit. The artist must provide their own insurance for their entry.

Artwork must be delivered on Sunday, September 5th between Noon – 4pm. All work must be wired & ready to hang. Any artwork that is not properly prepared for hanging may be eliminated from the exhibit. If your entry requires a special display arrangement, please bring that as well. Since LAG is hosting its’ own event this year, any help with display items such as pedestals & cases, will be greatly appreciated.

Please note: Acceptance into the Annual Exhibit does not carry with it “juried membership status”. Juried member status for Guild Fairs is a separate process.

If the artwork is sold, the security check will be mailed to the artist. When the artist or artist’s representative picks up their work at the close of the show, the check will be returned to them at that time. If the artist or their representative does NOT pick up the artwork at the close of the show, the check will be cashed and the monies will be used by the person securing the artwork from the gallery to have it packaged and shipped from the UPS Store to the artist C.O.D.
