Gift Gallery Procedures
The Gift Gallery is a wonderful opportunity for our members to sell their artwork.
• To sell in the Gift Gallery, you must be a current member.
• Every piece in the Gift Gallery will be juried in. You can bring your work to the Art Center during business hours at any time. The work will be juried weekly. A timely pickup is expected if your work has not been accepted.
• Commission split is 65%/35% for all gift gallery sales.
• We will accept all forms of original art including, but not limited to, prints, ceramics, jewelry, paintings, photography, accessories, stained glass, note cards, fabric art, tiles, books, and sculpture.
• There is a limit of 5 pieces per member, or as determined by sales.
• Our new inventory sheet must accompany the artwork. Flatwork labeling: Securely fasten, to the back of your work, the following information: Date-including the year, full name, title, medium, and price on your business card or card-sized label.
• PRINTS of various sizes are acceptable and must be either matted or backed by rigid material (foam board, etc.) and wrapped in cellophane or other professional clear packaging and contain your label inside the cellophane.
• OTHER pieces should be submitted individually including full name, description, medium, and price within each bag.
• FRAMED WORK must be no bigger than 8×10, including mat and frame. Gallery wraps must be a minimum of 1 ½” deep. Professional presentation is expected, which includes proper wiring. Sawtooth hangers, holes in the back and poorly presented work will not be accepted.
• It is strongly suggested that every artist keep a record of their own inventory.
• Please note that the space in the Gift Gallery is limited. Every effort will be made to display as many works as possible. We reserve the right to switch out work to keep the gallery offerings fresh. If we choose this option, it is usually due to seasonal subject matter, and you will be contacted to pick up your work.
• CCAC will take all possible care in handling artwork but cannot be responsible for loss or damage from any cause. We recommend that artists ensure their work while it is at the Gallery. The Artist is responsible for taking inventory of their items. Incomplete inventory/sales sheets will have the unlisted items rejected for display. After two summer seasons, your items will be considered donated to CCAC if you have not picked them up. Your cooperation is appreciated.
