Community Exhibits

Artist members of AAWS are invited to exhibit work at our participating Community Exhibits locations.

We currently exhibit in more than 20 sites throughout town. Our locations include banks, restaurants, medical offices, retirement communities, and public service and corporate offices. Each location is changed out in either two or three month intervals.

How It Works

Once you are added to the calendar, a few weeks before your hang date, we will send out a packet in which you will find a location-specific contract, an inventory list, and several cards to be completed and displayed with your work.

You complete the paperwork and make two more copies of the contract and inventory list. For insurance purposes, AAWS and the display site are each required to keep copies of the inventory list and the contract on file. So you leave copies at the display site when you go to hang your work and you mail another copy of each to the AAWS office as soon as your work has been hung. The third copy is for you to keep for your personal records.

Please note: You, the artist, are wholly responsible for transporting your work to and from the site and for hanging your work. Be sure to bring a friend with you if you're not sure you can handle it by yourself.

All work must be original, framed and ready to hang. Unframed canvas works with finished edges are also acceptable. "Sawtooth" hangers are not acceptable. Use wire. Please do not display work that is smaller than 8"x10".

When a work is sold, you will be immediately notified and asked to replace it. Art work is sold at a commission of 30%. Taxes are reported through AAWS, and checks are mailed to the artists within 30 days of payment receipt.

We ask that you do not initiate any publicity related to your art without first consulting AAWS.

If you have questions, or would like to be added to the list of Community Exhibits participants, please call Sunny Hudkins in the office.
