How the Public Art program woks
Each of our venues are different. Several venues have solo shows while others are group. Some have size or subject preference.
All Public Art Members are put on a Master list. Names are rotated every quarter so each member can exhibit every year. The Public Art Manager contacts artists to determine if they are interested in showing their work. The artists submit photos with information about each piece to the Manager. If approved for the venue, the artists submit label information. The labels are made by the Manager. The artist contact information is on the label.
The artist delivers the artwork to the Venue Coordinator at the venue on the delivery day and time specified by the Venue Coordinator. All work must be hung with D-rings to fit the hanging system. The Venue Coordinators then hang the show.
Sales:
Art is encouraged to be for sale. All sales of Public Art works must be done directly between artist and buyer. If the art sells, we would like the art to hang until the show ends. Many EAFA members have experience in conducting direct sales, but if you feel that you would like some input into how to do this, please contact our Venue Manager here.
EAFA is not liable for damage to art in the Public Art Program, artists are encouraged to self-insure. To see and download the required sales agreement as a PDF, click Public Art Sales Agreement. Your signature on this agreement is required to exhibit your work in the Public Art program.
