A Welcome Call to Artists
The Farmington Libraries are calling for artists to submit for our winter gallery show, running from February through March 2016. The show will kick off with an opening gala with the artists present. To apply, please submit four images and include a list that identifies each image by number, title, size, and medium. Each artist is limited to four pieces; the selection process requires viewing the four items proposed for display. These images can be submitted via email to: lfarrell@farmingtonlibraries.org, or can be put on a flash drive and mailed to the libraries. Images must not exceed 1 MB in size and must be in JPEG format. Do not send original artwork.
Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Artwork
Checks for purchase of artwork, including CT sales tax (6.35%), shall be made out to the Farmington Libraries. If the artwork is sold, 20% of the sale price will be donated to the Farmington Libraries and 80% of the sale price will be remitted to the artist by check from the Farmington Libraries. The Farmington Libraries will retain and remit the sales tax. As a not-for-profit organization, the Farmington Libraries provide the artists with an opportunity to exhibit but do not assume the role of agent or representative.
