The studio will be tied up and works for sale will be posted along the walls in anticipation for Sunday Open Studio season, which will start the following day.
PAC Members are invited to bring along their works for sale to hang up on the wall. A label or card with the artist’s name and the price must be included on the FRONT of the piece. (That way, we won’t have to take works down to look for that information.) We take 10% commission off sales at the club; please price accordingly. Cards, small crafts (original, not from a kit), and print replicas of your work can also be sold.
Stay tuned for information on our Open Studio season…
