Talented Member Artists Gallery

• Artwork will be on display from date in until date out on the first Monday of the month between 10 AM and Noon unless other arrangements have been made. 
• Selection and placement of artwork will be at the discretion of the Gallery Exhibits Director. 
• The Gallery’s commission is 25% on all sales. Payment will be made monthly for sold work. 
• Artist will be notified of the opportunity to replace any piece that has been sold during the month. 
• Artists are expected to sign up to host the gallery or other volunteer task to help keep our doors open during business hours.
• Pelican Bay Arts Association (PBAA) will provide all possible precautions in caring for the art work placed in the Gallery or in our related shows. 
• Art works are the final responsibility of the artist. The PBAA will not be held liable for damaged, stolen, or copyright infringement.

Just like most membership art centers, members volunteer for various tasks which allows us to keep our doors open. Many tasks are covered by member volunteers including gallery hosting, help with our Second Saturday reception, coordinator roles, event chairs, board membership and more. 

The Gallery is a venue for displaying and selling art, and for special events. A substantial portion of our operational support comes from gallery sales. It is essential we have a vibrant and well- functioning gallery.  

Members displaying art in the gallery agree to sign up to be a gallery host during the month their art is displayed. Gallery hours on Thursdays from 11 to 1 in particular need to be covered. If a member is not available to host, they can ask a friend or relative to host for them or they can sign up for other duties as described above.  

Exemptions include anyone who regularly volunteers in another capacity at the Art Center. This includes such things as bookkeeping, office work, coordinators, board of directors, Monday art change out helpers, volunteer instructors who donate their fees and event chairs. 

Displayed art must be original and recent (within the last 2 years). The Art Center Director can make a determination to accept a giclee or other print in special circumstances for gallery wall display. If your piece has been displayed in the past year, it will not be accepted. Unframed prints can be placed in the prints bin for up to a year.

Your original art must be clean and ready for display. This includes wall pieces that have a hanging wire or other acceptable means to hang on the plastic hanging strips. Frames and glass must be clean. Artist business cards can be attached to the back of your art but will not be attached to the front or on the wall.

Pieces that are not for sale (NFS) will generally not be accepted. It goes without saying; the primary purpose of displaying art is so that the artist and the gallery can earn income. Exceptions will be made if there is unused gallery space, your art is included as a retrospective, there is a special collections exhibit or other instances as determined by the Art Center Director.
