If you
are interested in exhibiting, an advance
email, on or before Wednesday, MAY 4, 2016, to Christine Gendron,
christinegendron@sympatico.ca,
indicating the number
of works and their sizes,
would be helpful. Or, just show up at the date, but risk being turned
away.
Please
be prepared to record your paintings with: Title, Medium, Size,
and Price along with your name, phone number and e-mail. You
can bring up to 3 paintings although, depending on the total number
received, not all may be accepted. North Gloucester Library can
accommodate 20 paintings. Paintings must be ready for hanging, with
appropriate framing and hardware to Arteast standards. Those who are
bringing in a painting for the first time this year must sign an
Arteast contract form. Blank contracts will be available at the
library.

percent (15%) of any sale is payable to Arteast for its operational
budget.
When someone shows an interest in purchasing a piece, they will be advised to contact you directly to make the transaction. We prefer to leave all works hanging for the duration of each exhibition. If you must remove your work prior to the next change-over, please notify the appropriate coordinator, so the Librarian can be advised and take note of the authorized removal. Neither the Library nor Arteast takes responsibility for the security of works exhibited but reasonable care is taken to ensure their security. Remember that these are very public areas that put your work and name before the public. Do your part to encourage people to visit the North Gloucester, Orleans, St. Laurent Complex, and Blackburn Hamlet Libraries, where Arteast members exhibit on a continuing basis.
We look forward to seeing exhibitors on Tuesday, MAY 10, 2016.

Communiqué
Arteast's
hard-copy, quarterly newsletter—Communiqué—is popular with our
members, but did you know that it is also available on our Web site
at http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php? A notification when a new
issue is released is communicated via the weekly Arteast Digest.
Posting of the Web version may be viewed in full dazzling colour, at
least two weeks before the print version (black and white) is
delivered by Canada Post. With rising postal costs, some members
have requested that they be removed from the mailing list for the
printed copy. Other advantages of going with the online Communiqué
are:
-
reduces printing and envelope costs;
- makes
Arteast more "green";
- no
more hunting for misplaced issues (Arteast's Web site has the current
and all back issues).
Printed
copies will be available at our monthly Grow With Art meetings and
the Promenade Arteast gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre. If you
prefer to read the newsletter online, please e-mail us at
editor@arteastottawa.com to have your name removed from the
newsletter mailing list.
La
copie imprimée du trimestriel d’Arteast – Communiqué – est
populaire auprès de ses membres, mais saviez-vous qu’il est aussi
disponible sur le site Web http://arteastottawa.com/newsletter.php
? Lors de sa publication, une notice paraît dans l’hebdomadaire
Arteast Digest. Sur le Web il peut être lu et vu en couleurs deux
semaines avant la version imprimée ( noir et blanc) postée par
Poste Canada. Compte tenu du coût postal croissant plusieurs membres
ont enlevé leur nom pour l’envoi postal - vers le Web. Il y a
d’ailleurs d’autres avantages du Communiqué en ligne tels que :
-
réduire les coûts de l’imprimé et de l’enveloppe;
-
Arteast plus ‘vert’;
-
ne plus être à la recherche du numéro manquant (le Web d’Arteast
conserve le numéro courant et les anciens numéros).
Des
copies imprimées seront disponibles à la réunion mensuelle L’Art
en herbe et à la galerie Promenade Arteast au Centre Shenkman. Si
vous préférez lire le Communiqué en ligne, s.v.p. contactez :
editor@arteastottawa.com
afin d’enlever votre nom de la liste d’envoi.
