So far there are just a few people who have returned forms - this isn't
much of a problem as we can just fill the space with our own work BUT we
will most definitely need help with stewarding.
If you do wish to exhibit, forms are online or you can fill one in at the art session this week. The DEADLINE is 1st JULY!!
As an incentive to encourage people to do a little more stewarding, I am
offering a 10% discount on exhibiting fees to anyone offering to
steward for 3 or more sessions (not including the final session).
If you do not wish to exhibit but can offer even just an hour of stewarding, please let me know asap!
On our website are details of table top display stands
that you might like to order to display your work. AAG members can
order materials at SAA member prices if ordered through the AAG group
account so please get in touch asap if you would like to place an order.
If you want to order some of the more robust stands from Ken Bromley,
let me know and we can combine orders to get a bulk discount.
We are once again raising funds for the MS Society so ask for a donation of a prize (or a few!) for the tombola and / or a donation of a picture.
The Art Show is part of Arlington Weekend which features Arlington Gets Cajun and other events in the field - see the Arlington Day website for details of events and to book tickets - hurry, they are selling fast.
If you have any questions at all about the application form or the show,
or can offer help please do email
