SCAPE SUNDAY SOIREE

The Exhibits Committee Co-Chairs, Leigh Sparks and Donna Moser invited interested members of SCAPE and artists interested in joining SCAPE to a Sunday Soiree - an afternoon meeting on January 18th at the home of Sally Hamilton, a founding member and leader.

We look forward to creating opportunities for all artists to assume leadership positions on the Board or Show Committee and to express their selves while contributing toward the purpose of preservation of our local environment. We are looking forward to a successful 2009!

Only SCAPE members have the privilege to participate in SCAPE exhibits. Please click here for membership information. Artists may also join SCAPE at the ingathering.

Ingathering costs for each show are $10 for one painting and $25 for three. There is no limit to the number of paintings that may be juried into the exhibits.

Artists are invited to submit paintings in all styles and media, and collage or assemblage. We don't exhibit photographs or digital art. All paintings must be framed with wires on the back for hanging. The jurors will look for well-executed paintings that adhere to the theme of the exhibit. They will also consider the quality and appropriateness of framing.

There will be monetary and honorary awards given at each exhibit.

Artists whose paintings are selected for exhibits are expected to work at least three hours before or during the exhibit or pay $40.

50% of sales will go to the artists, 40% will be donations to the exhibit's beneficiary and 10% will go to SCAPE. (Artists will receive 60% at the Botanic Garden show.)

Insurance on artwork submitted is the responsibility of the artist. Though care will be taken, SCAPE will not be responsible for damage or theft. If your work is seen at the exhibit and purchased after the exhibit by that buyer at your studio, please respect the terms of the show.
