CALL FOR Membership ARTWORK
18th Annual 50 to 500 Art Show and Sale
Member’s art drop-off deadline, no extension: Friday, October 21, 2022
We are opening up our gallery once again for public viewing for the 18th annual member’s show! We welcome all current and new members, Indigenous and non, to showcase your artwork in celebration of you and the change in season. Sell from 50 cents to $500.00 (or more) and 100% of the sale goes to the artist. We do ask that artists become a member to boost our membership numbers; donations from the sale of the sold work would be greatly appreciated but not necessary. There is a special sliding scale rate from $10 to our regular cost of $25.00 a membership. Memberships will be collected during the drop-off of artwork with a signed contract to be a part of this wonderful event.
