FAACE Fine Art Show at Dogwood Gallery, Tyrone, GA

Members, here are some dates for your calendar and some very basic information to help you prepare. We'll be filling in the details in the near future by email to those who let us know they'll be participating.

Juried Art Show at Dogwood Gallery, Tyrone
Opening reception inside the Gallery Friday, Sept. 13
Outdoor Show (all members can participate, no jury required) Saturday, Sept. 14th (time TBA)

Art in the gallery to be juried. Members will be asked to send five (5) jpg pictures to Dogwood for consideration.

Tent show on Saturday. Members can set up 10 x 10 white tents. Tent sharing is fine but it's up to those with tents to team up. Set up will be Saturday morning. Non-juried, FAACE members ONLY.

In gallery pieces will be the standard commission to Dogwood. There will be a lesser commission for the Saturday show. We are working on determining which charity will be the beneficiary of the show. As always, the art show host gets to choose the charity of their choice.

All juried in-Gallery art will need to be picked up on Saturday Sept. 28th.

Please remember, we have many details to add! This is just a short bit to give you an idea of what we're working on with Greg at Dogwood.

Association of Miniature Artists

At least one of our FAACE (Fine Arts and Crafts Entrepreneurs) members paints miniatures. Traveling around the web looking for good art shows this popped up: http://miniart.wordpress.com/miniature-shows/

It's by the Association of Miniature Artists! Hope it's something of interest to some of you.

Tips for entering Juried Art Shows

Came across this on http://www.artshow.com and thought some of you might be interested in reading the tips. Here's the link to get to the full list: http://www.artshow.com/juriedshows/entering.html. Just posting the first two below so you'll get an idea of what you'll find when you click the link. It's a full page of tips.

Is the event local, regional, national, or international? The larger the pool of artists, the harder it will be to get accepted into the show, but the prizes are generally higher. Does your work meet the guidelines for theme, medium, size, weight, and presentation requirements?

Reminder - Pick up art from Farrago tomorrow & FAACE meeting

Hope to have a good group at the meeting tomorrow (Tuesday) night to hear Ed & Patsy Gullett speak on a variety of subjects. They know all about getting into shows across the country, selling art, living as an "art couple", running shows and more. Should be interesting and educational.
