Reintroducing the Artist Bio Book

Ten years ago, Sharon Dunham established the Village Gallery’s Artist Bio Book as a unified way to showcase the work and stories of gallery members. In August 2015, she reached out through the newsletter, inviting artists to be part of this initiative using a standardized presentation format. The response was immediate—fifteen artists joined as the first contributors and had their profiles featured.  Today, the book has grown to over 60 pages.

How to Participate

This is a free opportunity for all artists associated with the gallery. To be included, simply send the following materials electronically to [email protected]:

• A headshot of yourself (JPEG format)
• Three images of your artwork (JPEG format)
• Your artist biography (Word document)

With these components, Sharon will design a personalized page for you in the Artist Bio Book. She encourages all VGA members, especially Board members, to participate and join those already represented in this valuable resource. She says if she can do it, you can too!

Displaying Artist Business Cards

Gallery assistants and those leading membership orientation are reminded: artists interested in displaying their business cards at the front desk may do so for a one-time fee of $2. However, this is only available to artists who have submitted their information for the Artist Bio Book.

A sample page is provided below for reference.
