CALL TO ARTISTS OPPORTUNITIES

Hi all,

As your VGA Outside Show Chair, I have three potential shows that I’m working on offering gallery members (pending confirmations from the venues). I want to share these with you now so that you can think about what works for you. Here are the details as of this moment with more details to come:

• July 9 through September – the City of Beaverton has offered us another opportunity to show our talent at city hall. I promised that I would create a team of volunteers to transport, hang, and take down the show. As in the past, I will keep an inventory, produce artists’ cards and oversee sales. People at city hall love having art on the walls! 
• The Ackerly at Reed’s Crossing reached out after I visited their facility. They would like to display VGA artwork for 4-6 weeks in August (specific dates to be determined). They will host an artist’s reception, open to the public, which includes wine and snacks provided by the Ackerley. In addition to 2D art, there is space for a limited number of 3D pieces (number to be determined).
• Our Cedar Mill neighbor, Haven Coffee, has offered us an opportunity to show art from September 1 – 30. There is room for approximately 15  –  2D pieces. There may be room for a limited number of 3D pieces (to be determined).

If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please contact Sharon Dunham at [email protected]. Please indicate which venue(s) you are interested in. At this point I don’t know how many pieces are allowed so please submit your top 3-4 for city hall, top 1-2 for Ackerly and top 1-2 for Haven Coffee. Please let me know if you have any questions.
