2.WHEN DO I NEED TO SUBMIT MY PRICE LIST AND BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION? Your price list must be sent one month prior to your show. The prices may be submitted electronically or in hard copy. The preferred method is electronic. Please contact the Gallery Coordinator to request this document be e-mailed to you.

We request that each artist prepare a brief ‘Artist Profile’ for their exhibition. The profile could include biographical information, an ‘artist’s statement’ or a description of your technique or process. It is up to you. A regular 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper printed on one side and framed is the usual format. This information should be ready to hang on display for the public to read. The ‘Artist Profile’ will be expected to arrive with your other work on the first day of your show.

3.WHAT SHOULD THE PRICE LIST INCLUDE? Title, Framed size, Price and medium of each piece. When the price list is formatted for circulation, it will include the contact phone number provided by the artist. Individuals wishing to purchase work will contact the artist directly.

4.WHAT PROCEEDURE SHOULD I FOLLOW WHEN DROPPING OFF/ PICKING UP MY WORK? Artists must deliver their work to the library at 9:00 a.m. on the day that their exhibition starts. (Enter through side door on Marine Drive as front doors are closed at this time). Note: The dates for when you are to deliver and then pick up your artwork at the Library are in your contract. In some cases, the take down date is not the last day of the show (due to weekend and holiday closures).

5.WHO IS THE OPENING RECEPTION FOR AND WHAT HAPPENS? The opening reception is for the artist(s) and anyone that they choose to invite. Receptions are also open to the public. The date and time of your reception is stipulated in your contract. (Enter through side door on Marine Drive as front doors are closed at this time).

6.WHAT ABOUT INVITATIONS TO THE RECEPTION? The library has generic invitations available should the artist choose to use them. Artists are responsible for addressing and mailing their own invitations. If you would like to use the generic invitations, please call the gallery coordinator at 604-925-7407 and let him / her know how many invitations you would like. Note: Many artists like to create their own invitations; however, the wording must be approved by the library.

8. ARE THERE REFRESHMENTS AT THE OPENING RECEPTION? The Friends of the Library serve tea, coffee and punch as well as provide tablecloths, flowers, china and napkins. The library will provide sweets. Alcohol may not be served.

9. HOW MANY PIECES OF ART WILL I HAVE IN THE SHOW? The Gallery Coordinator will stipulate a suggested number of works in your contract. This number is based on averaged sized paintings (approximately 24” x 36”). If you have any questions, please contact the Gallery Coordinator to discuss further.

Note: The Library reserves the right to limit and/or reduce the number of works displayed in a show due to space restrictions. Paintings should be no more than five years old.
