Here is all the info for the

ACAC Art Sale at this point.

The show will be in our new space on Rodney Parham, 900 S. Rodney

Parham, in the old Gallery  B on Feb 14 and 15.

We've hosted seven major community art sales over the past eight

years.  Now, we have our own space to hold them in and we'll be having

this one there.  Its a big show and sale and lots of fun.  Usually a

couple hundred people show up and we have music, wine, food and people

buy art.  We regularly sell $2,000 to $3,000 worth or art and the

space is usually filled up all night with people on opening night.

The commission we're taking is 30%. That leaves 70% of all sales going

straight to the artists.

There is a 5-piece maximum number of pieces per artist, unless they

are small and contained in a case or box. Also, we'll have trouble

displaying very large pieces since our space size is a bit limited.

There is also an artist entry fee of $10 if you're already an ACAC

member, and $20 if you're not a member.

The deadline to tell us yay or nay if you want to be in the sale is Feb. 2nd.

The 30% commission and the entry fee go straight into our non-profit

member-run cooperative to pay our bills and keep the space open.

Last sale we did a pretty successful postcard mailing that turned

out several extra art buyers and raised the amount that was sold.  It

was only made possible by artists who allowed us to have their

addresses so we could send to the folks who were already interested in

their work.  We'd like to do this again this year.  Can you give us

your list of art buyer addresses?  If so, the ideal way to get them to

us would be via e-mail.

Also, Please let us know if you have any display equipment needs like

special mounting, tables, etc.

We'll be getting back in touch with you about when to drop off your

work.  But the cut off time for artists to have their work turned is

usually a week before the opening.  We'll have a times during the week

leading up to that when we'll be at the space accepting work.  You can

come in to drop it off, and make your own tags and pay your artist

entry fee right then and there.

Please let us know if there are any other artists that you feel we

should be talking to about this!

Please call or email me with any questions and again, please let us

know by Feb. 2 if you are participating in the show.

I look forward to hearing from you.
