Guidelines for Exhibiting Art
First, we are thankful that our members want to show their work at all our wonderful venues & are grateful to those who donate their time to install our exhibitions. We would not be The Nyack Art Collective without you!
To help facilitate a smooth & efficient installation & takedown, we have a checklist of things for you to remember before, day of & after each exhibit you participate in.
BEFORE:
All artwork should be:
-
Properly wired with d-rings & strong gauge wire. Sawtooth hangers cannot be accepted.
-
Securely framed & clean.
-
Protected with bubble wrap or cardboard or a tote bag w/name for safe transport.
-
Labeled on the back, with your name, contact info, title, $ price, medium & size.
-
Completely dry. No wet paint please!
Day of instal & takedown day:
All artwork should be:
-
Delivered on time to the venue within the first half hour of installation. After that, late work cannot be accepted. Can’t be there, no problem! Please arrange for a drop off ahead of time with Joyce Byrnes or Mary Louise Allen.
-
Please make arrangements, ahead of time, if you cannot make it for take down day.
-
Please be aware of how long the exhibition will be running. Depending on the venue, most works (even if sold) should remain until the end date.
-
If your art sells: It is the artist’s responsibility to contact any interested parties, make arrangements for shipping & pay any commission, if applicable.
