REMINDERS for artists:
Keep your address and contact information up-to-date with the church office.
Proper framing (and wiring) strengthens the quality and presentation of your work.
Dates are subject to change as required by the ministry or the events in the life of Glade Church; thank you for your continued flexibility.
Artists are responsible for informing the church office of work that has been sold, as well as who will pick up the work at the close of a gallery. No work may be removed before the end of an exhibit without advanced arrangements.
As always, Glade Church reserves the right to determine the appropriateness and compatibility of any artwork submitted for a gallery theme.
