http://www.artadvice.com/advice/article32.pdf getting ready for a juried show
Juror Responsibility: We choose and pay for jurors that are not familiar with our artists and can judge impartially. The juror should have a strong background in art, various techniques and media.
Attendance at receptions: Please try by all means to attend WCA receptions, whether or not you are in the show. Also, although it is not possible to attend every member's personal reception, we like to think that you will make an effort to attend all you can in the supportive spirit of WCA.
Delivering and picking up artwork for exhibitions: It is mandatory that you or a representative for you be present at receiving and pick up. Often there are questions that need answering. With one or two exhibitions annually, it should not be a burden for you. Reminder: You MUST pick up your artwork at the end of a show. If you are going to enter your artwork in an exhibition, it is your responsibility to pick it up.... PLEASE! This has become a serious problem.

Contact Directly for forms and further info: Phaedra Rehorn Historical Resources Assistant Manatee Village Historical Park (941) 749-7165 / 741-4075 I am in the process of organizing a few events to coincide with the national Watercolor Show that will be held at Art Center Manatee from January 15th - February 26th, 2010. As part of the watercolor theme of the events, we would like to have a small exhibit of watercolor art, as well as three different Saturday events (January 23rd, February 13th, & 27th) with watercolor demonstrations or workshops by local artists. The demos and the exhibit will take place at the Manatee Village Historical Park which is a collection of restored historical buildings, as well as a small museum which exists to preserve the pioneer history of Manatee County. The Park is located at 1404 Manatee Avenue East, in Bradenton. Most people know the Park from the black steam locomotive out front. The actual exhibit will be installed on the second floor of the Wiggins Store, where the small museum and Park offices are located. The demos can take place anywhere on the Park grounds that the artist prefers. We have several different locations where the demos can take place; the porch of an old settler’s house, a gazebo and courtyard adjacent to the 1887 church, the porch of the Wiggins Store, or if an indoor location is preferred, artists are welcome to use the 1887 church, the 1860 courthouse, the hallway of the settler’s house or the one-room school house. I am open to anything the artist feels most comfortable with. The dates of the demos are January 23rd, February 13th & 27th, and they will take place from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm. The exhibit will be in place from January 15th – February 26th. We would be thrilled to have as many artists as would like to participate, or as space will allow.

************************************************************************************ Hello WCA Members:
I am Armand Ross. I have a weekly
television show, "Artist TV Showcase", upon which painters,
sculptors, photographers and fine crafts people display and sell
their art. Joanna Coke has displayed her fine work on our show and
has encouraged me to write to you. My show was conceived as an altruistic act to provide our friends who "show" a "more civilized" venue then one experienced at long-day, tiring arts and craft shows.
My wife is also heavily involved in
the arts. She is the Director of Arts and Leisure at the Sarasota
Bay Club where she maintains a quite active monthly changing art
sales gallery.
Most sincerely, arossklein@aol.com 941 360-2828 Please call or email for further information.
