Change in Hanging Policy
Attention Artists!
You’ll be happy to know that it has been decided by the powers that be that we can now bring in 3 (three) wall hangings on take in days instead of 2. HURRAH! This should make a lot of people happy. So starting with the June take-in (Friday June 18th), through November 2010, bring in 3 of your wonderful pieces of art to adorn the walls of the gallery. Hopefully this will help with sales, which is a step in the right direction.
Remember, the size limitations that are spelled out in your gallery agreement (that we all signed) – they still apply! So don’t expect to bring in 2 or 3 large pieces , like 30” x 36” and hope to see them all hanging.

RAA 2010 Artist Biography Notebook
Dear Artists,
I have finally finished assembling the new biography folder but there are gaps.
I would like to thank everyone who sent/gave me updated biographies and photographs.
It’s not too late to update your biography neither is it too late to submit a biography. I am just asking for a paragraph about yourself, what inspires your art and a photograph of yourself (1 page), with three photographs (2nd page) plus contact details such as website/email/blog/phone #. If you have any spare business cards please include a few so they can be given to the purchaser.
Many thanks, Liz Coviello
