ART LEAGUE OF HENDERSON COUNTY 2019 FALL MEMBER SHOW PROSPECTUS

NOTE: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY. THERE ARE MAJOR CHANGES TO LAST YEAR’S PROSPECTUS.

ELIGIBILITY:
The annual Fall Member Show is open to all current (dues paid) members of the Art League of Henderson County.
ENTRY FEE:
A non-refundable fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) will enable a member to submit one (1) painting. Members may submit a painting in one of the following categories:

PROFESSIONAL: This category includes members who exhibit in galleries, actively seek to sell their work, are signature members of societies, who often win awards in juried or judged exhibitions and who demonstrate high levels of technical skills and wish to compete at a professional level.
NON-PROFESSIONAL: Includes members who are emerging artists and may not identify with the above, who may be in the early stages of their artistic development or pursue their art as more of a hobby.

The entry fee must accompany the completed Registration Form (attached). Make checks payable to: “ALHC”. NOTE: The entry fee will be $10.00 for those who join the Art League in order to enter this exhibition.
VENUE: This year’s exhibition will be hung at the Kaplan Auditorium at the Hendersonville Library.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE:
Mail-in registrations must be postmarked by October 12, 2019 and hand-delivered registrations will not be accepted after the close of the monthly ALHC meeting on Sunday, October 13. Late entries will not be accepted. Since there is limited gallery space, entries will be numbered in the order in which they are received and hanging priority will be given to paintings in that order. Members are urged to enter early to insure that their painting is included in the show. Incomplete Registration Forms will disqualify entries. Changes cannot be made once an entry has been submitted.

Maximum frame size for accepted work is 32” X 44” or 44” X 32”. Work over a half sheet in size must be glazed with acrylic sheet, not glass. All work must be framed or on a painted gallery wrap of at least 1 ¼” thickness. Work must be properly wired for hanging (NO SAWTOOTH HANGERS).

In the event that a painting is sold to an out-of-town buyer, it will be the responsibility of the artist to replace the painting with a work of the same approximate size and value.

RECEPTION AND AWARDS:
The Opening Reception and Awards Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, November 5 from 4:30 to 6PM. The Viewers’ Choice Award will be determined this year by public ballot during the show. The winner will receive a ribbon and League membership for one (1) year.
