Gallery 839 November 2014 Art Show
November 7 - 28
Opening Reception: November 7
6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Gallery 839
1105 N Hollywood Way, Burbank, CA
We're approaching the first anniversary of the opening of Gallery 839, our space set aside to show the artwork of our members outside of the world of animation.
We've just found out that the artist we had expected to be showing in February has had to drop out at the last minute. This leaves us with an opening for February, and so far none of the upcoming scheduled artists are available to fill it.
We've had some wonderful and popular shows at the Gallery, and a number of our members have profited by the experience. In fact, at least one piece has sold from every show we've put on. As a result, we have a number of members who have reserved monthly slots, so that much of the rest of 2011 is penciled in if not booked.
So if you're a member of the Animation Guild who's interested in showing in Gallery 839, or part of a group that would like to show, here's the deal:
To show at Gallery 839 you must be a member of the Animation Guild, either current or inactive. If you're part of a group of artists, as long as at least one member of the group is a Guild member we'll show the entire group.
If you take the February slot, the opening is set for February 4. All opening dates are set for the first Friday of the month except when there is a conflict with a holiday.
The Guild will publicize your show in the Peg-Board, on the e-mail list and the TAG Blog. You or your group are responsible for:
* All other publicity
* All other expenses, including the costs of an opening reception if you choose to have one
* The Gallery will be open from 6 pm to 10 pm on opening night, and every consecutive Friday from 11 am to 2 pm. If you want the Gallery open at other times you will need to make arrangements with the office staff and be present when the Gallery is open.
There is no charge for showing at Gallery 839. You do not have to show work that is for sale; however, if you sell any artwork the Guild's commission is ten percent.
Send me an e-mail if you're interested, either in February or in a future slot. There's a short and simple contract for you to sign, and a set of guidelines, all of which can be e-mailed to you.
All bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis. The February slot has to be booked in the next few days or it will be canceled, but let me know even if you're just interested in a future opportunity.
And thanks to everyone for making Gallery 839 such a success.
