I lived most of my adult life in Augusta, Georgia where I raised my children and dabbled in many different art forms as a stay-at-home mom.  I then moved to Germany for 12 years, where I spent a lot of time roaming art museums and all the beautiful historic cities of Germany, Italy, France, Austria, Switzerland, Greece, Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, England and many other countries.  The art and architecture fascinated me and still i

Exhibition Guidelines (Revised June 2015)

 

Scope 

The Oak Island Department of Parks and Recreation makes the halls of their facility available for the artists of OIAG to display their artwork at no expense. These halls make a wonderful gallery and therefore it is important to keep our art at a professional level. The Recreation Center (Rec Ctr) is for display ONLY. No sales may take place within the confines of the Rec Ctr.

 General 

    1. The Rec Ctr is a family facility; therefore, the Exhibition Committee has the authority to decline any inappropriate work.


    2. The utmost care will be given each piece of artwork. However, neither the OIAG nor the Rec Ctr shall be responsible for loss or damage from any cause.


    3. Only members of the OIAG may display artwork.


Artwork

 
     1. Any 2D medium that is properly framed and not more than 50" in any direction may be hung.

     2. Due to the hanging system, the wire should be no lower than 3” from the top of the frame, with the wire tight.

     3. Plexiglas must be used for liability reasons. No glass may be used in the frame.

     4. An OIAG Gallery Card (obtain from Rec Ctr office or Exhibition Chairperson) must accompany each painting and include the title of the work, the artist’s name and telephone number, and the medium. Personal cards must not be visible on the face of a painting. If used, they must be placed on the back. No price should be given on the card.

Sales

     1. No sales may take place in the Rec Ctr.

     2. If someone is interested in buying a painting, the artist should remove it from  the  Rec Ctr before conducting the sale.

Hanging

     1. There is space for approximately 35 paintings.

     2. Hanging is done quarterly (January, April, July, and October) immediately following the scheduled OIAG membership meeting. Paintings should be brought to the Rec Ctr between 9 and 10 AM ready to hang. There is no storage available.

     3. Members who wish to display their paintings, should contact the Exhibition Chair 1 week before the hanging date. The Chair will determine the number of paintings each member may hang and notify them.

     4. Pick up of artwork from the previous quarter is at the same time. If you must remove a painting before the removal date, contact the Exhibition Chair so  the  “hole” can be filled. 


Featured Artist

      1. Featured Artists must be members of OIAG.

      2. A sign-up list will be passed around to the members attending the first meeting of the year by the Exhibition Chairperson. When the names of the 4 Featured Artists for the year are known, a list should be sent to the OIAG Web Master.

     3. The Exhibition Chairperson should remind artists in advance of their exhibition.

     4. The Featured Artist may display approximately 5-6 paintings, depending on their sizes, and should adhere to rules concerning display at the Rec Ctr.

     5. The Publicity Chairperson should be notified so that mention of the Featured Artist (and photograph if possible) may be included in press releases.
