Call for art from Civil War Era

From the Anna Arts Center:

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

One of the major events in preparing for the weekend is to collect artwork of the Civil War Era and create an Art exhibit. This is your opportunity to be a part of the weekend. Everyone is invited to display their Civil War era art that they have collected or created. Please bring your art work Monday through Thursday, between 9 am -12 noon to the Anna Arts Center, 125 West Davie Street, Anna, IL.  The plan is to collect all the art pieces, swords, and any other items you want to submit to display and start letting people visit the exhibit in the Performing Arts Center, 117 West Davie Street.  As pieces are submitted they will be displayed and open to the public from 9 a.m. until noon. The exhibit is free and will be open through the Civil War Weekend of Union County, Feb 8-10, 2013. Any questions, please call Lee at  618-833-6525 or cell  904-625-1109 or email: vabchlee@gmail.com.All the best, Lee

Eligibility & Requirements

This exhibit is open to all members of the Tri-State Art Guild in all mediums including 2D hangings, sculpture, 3D and photography. New members may enter by submitting membership dues below.

We are using the small gallery so wall art may be no larger than 36"horizontal x 40" vertical to allow as many as possible to fit in the space. Please notify by email if 3D work requires a special display case (other than the permanent cases) for protection.

All work must be the entrant's ORIGINAL work. NO PRINTS except photography entries allowed.

Proper presentation is a must! Hanging work must be DRY, framed, wired on back and able to hang on display rods to be accepted into this exhibit. "Thick Gallery Wrap" canvas (no staples on sides) does not have to be framed but must be painted on the edges. Paper artwork must be covered with glass or plexi.

No saw tooth hangers please! They will not fit on the hanging rods.  Pieces too small to hang on rods will be placed on easels in display cases.

Insurance Artists are responsible for insuring artwork.

Commission Sales will be processed through the gift shop. A 10% commission will be taken by the Angel Mounds gift shop on all work sold in this exhibit. Price accordingly! Entries without price reference will be displayed as “NFS” or Not for Sale.

All artwork must remain on display for the duration of the exhibit unless sold. The Tri-State Art Guild and Angel Mounds reserve the right to refuse artwork considered inappropriate for display.
