2024 IN-PERSON Members' Exhibition & Showcase Registration

 

Please review the exhibition policies below, then fill out the form and waiver at the bottom of this page to register to participate in this event.

Artwork exhibited in the 2024 RAA Members' Exhibition & Showcase should be original, have been produced in the past two years, and not have been shown in a previous RAA Members' Exhibition.

2D artwork must be framed and ready to hang. The maximum width allowed for 2D artwork is 40 inches. 3D artwork may be displayed on a pedestal. The maximum dimensions allowed for 3D artwork are 2 ft wide x 2 ft deep x 3 ft tall.

Each current River Arts Alliance member may enter one work in the exhibition. For 2D visual art, a diptych or triptych may be counted as one work, but must fit within the 40" maximum width.

Note to writer members: Written works, such as a framed poem or a single copy of a recently-published book, may be entered for display in the in-person exhibition. Writers may bring additional copies of a single recently-published book to have for sale during the Opening Reception, 5pm-7pm on Friday, June 21. Individuals are responsible for handling their own sales; RAA will not handle any sales.

The Care and Handling of Art
Every effort will be made to carefully handle the artwork. If damage or deterioration is noted, every reasonable effort will be made to notify the Lender (artist) immediately.

Insurance
Artwork loaned for the exhibition will NOT be insured. Artists should provide their own insurance. The lender should provide a sale price, if the piece is for sale.

Receiving and Releasing Loans (Shipping)
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the Lender (artist) and River Arts Alliance, the Lender is responsible for covering the cost of, and arranging for, the packing, crating and transporting of the loaned objects to and from the premises of the Coffeehouse.

Sale of Artwork
All sales will be handled by the artist or their representative. It will be up to the artist to make all arrangements regarding this transaction. If your work is for sale, you agree to have your contact info made public in the Coffeehouse. Blue Heron Coffeehouse or RAA will not handle any sales. All sold work should remain in the show until the end date. An exception can be made if the artist sells a work that is taken down, and the artist then immediately replaces the work with one of a similar size. In this case, Johanna Rupprecht (admin@riverartsalliance.org) should be notified as soon as possible so the label can be updated.
