NCAG Venues

NCAG artists currently hang wall art in the following venues: The way for you to get your work in these venues is to see which artist's work is in there now and call them to say you want to be next and work out a changeover date. If someone else is already next, you would then need to call them so you will be the next after them. We have generally been rotating on a two month cycle. Elaine Jacob (785-2767) is the final decision maker on who hangs when at RCMS.

The Dolphin Gallery's general manager, Helen Klembeck, would like a current artist's statement and bio from each of the artists who have work there, including media and techniques used, so the volunteers can be more knowledgeable in telling potential customers who is doing what. So drop one off there along with any info that might be interesting to your customers. It can't hurt!
