Artwork drop-off: Tuesday, June 28, 10am-2pm
Artwork pick-up: Saturday, July 30, 10am-2pm

In July the Art Center honors its students and instructors in this annual exhibition. The Art Center has over 200 students in classes throughout the year ranging from amateur to professional and over 15 instructors throughout the year. We at The Art Center are proud of the broad array of courses that we offer to the Grand Valley community. The exhibition is open to all mediums including ceramics, drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and more. All instructors who have taught over the past year and all students who have attended classes over the past year are invited to show their work. As you walk through the gallery space you can see the talent in The Art Center community, and we are honored to exhibit their artwork in North, Atrium, and Colorado Galleries.

This is a time for us to embrace the act of learning, artistic development, and the technical growth of or students and instructors. The exhibition is open to all styles, mediums, ages, and abilities. Instructors and students who have participated in a class or workshop throughout the past year are encouraged to exhibit their works.

The Art Center is proud to honor our educational programs with this exhibit. The exhibition will feature artwork from our children’s programs, adult programs, and Artability programs. This exhibition allows The Art Center to present to the community the ignited passion for the arts that resides in our students and instructors.

Delivery
Artist is responsible for delivery and pick-up of artwork to and from The Art Center, and all related expenses. Hand-delivered work must be dropped off and picked up on the specified dates at The Art Center. A storage fee of $10 per day per work will be charged on artwork remaining past the specified pick-up date, unless other arrangements are made with The Art Center.

Artwork Identification & Labeling
Upon delivery, artwork must be labeled with artist’s name, medium and price on the front (glass or frame) and back for 2D work. Do not tape labels to the artwork itself. For 3D work labels should be adhered to the bottom of the piece with archival removable materials. The Wall tags for art works will be generated from the information provided in this entry form. Please make sure all spelling and capitalization is correct.

Liability & Insurance
The Exhibitor acknowledges that The Art Center’s facilities are open to the public and often unlocked.
