Art of Framing Gallery
3333 Adams Avenue

April 6th-May 2nd

Opening reception: April 6th, 2007 6-10 pm

Nothing would be what it is:

We are looking for artists to participate in a group art show based on the fairy tale Alice in Wonderland. We are considering all types of artistic mediums, paintings, sculpture, performance, etc... There will be an opening reception Friday, April 6th from 6-10 pm, and the art will stay up all month. As artists I think we can all connect with nonsense, curiosities, white rabbits & troubles our mind can get us into.....

In my world:

1. All artwork must be for sale

2. The Gallery takes 35% commission on sold artwork

3. Deadline to receive work is March 30th

4. All artwork must be finished!!! -- This means that the work must be able to hang on the wall. This does not mean that your artwork must be framed, but it does mean that the gallery will be selective as to what is acceptable for the show, even though yeah, you are creating your own nonsense.

5. Out of state artwork is accepted, but shipping costs must be paid for by artist (there are no other entry fees), otherwise it needs to be dropped off at the Art of Framing & picked up promptly after the show is taken down.

6. Some of you may need to send links & jpgs if I am unfamiliar with your work! I hope you should decide to participate, this will be a fun show!!!!

7. Don't Hesitate! Please direct all responses about the Alice in Wonderland show to: kelly@orangefriendly.com
