CALENDAR FOR THE WALL DISPLAY, DECEMBER 2023 – NOVEMBER 2024

An idea for using the display wall was presented at the General Membership meeting on June 21, 2023.  There were positive reactions, so the Wall Display Committee (Lisa Henderling, John Baxter and Kate Mace) met to develop a suggested calendar, and clarify definitions. 

Some things will stay the same:

• The Featured Artist will remain a monthly feature in its current location.

• Art from the All About Art Spring, Fall Art Shows, and Creative Vision will be displayed in the month after the show.

Things to remember:

• In most cases the last panel, to the far right will be used for the selected display.  In two cases, the entire wall (with the exception of the Featured Artist) will be used. 

• As is always the case, flat canvases without frames will not be accepted.  The canvas must be framed, or be at least 1 1/2 “ with finished edges. 

• Unless otherwise noted, the size of the painting or paintings submitted should not exceed 1248 square inches.

Proposed Schedule:

• December, 2023—ANYTHING GOES! 

Artists can display traditional and non-traditional art forms, prints, giclees, fabric art---really just about anything goes!We will accommodate all art that can be hung on the wall.Collages with found objects that are securely fastened to a canvas will be accepted. Up to two pieces per artist..
