The Ottawa Orchid Society is pleased to invite anyone interested in displaying artwork in the form of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, pottery, needlepoint, stained glass, quilting, or other media to participate in our annual orchid show held at the Nepean Sportsplex on April 23-24, 2011. We have two 2011 challenge classes: photos of orchids with an “Asian inspiration” and fine art of orchids with an “Asian inspiration” – it is up to the creativity of each entrant to interpret this theme.
THE MAIN THEME OF EACH ENTRY MUST BE ORCHIDS.
Rules of the Exhibition:
Primary subject:Orchids; limit of 5 entries per artist
Registration:All work must be preregistered by April 17.
Set-up time:Drop off your art between 4 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Friday, April 22, 2011. All two-dimensional work must be suitably framed, wired, ready for hanging.
Take-down time:5:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Sunday, April 24, 2011.
Judging & fees:There are no fees to exhibit. Please see attached entry form for art categories. Limit of 5 entries per artist.
Advertising:Artist’s business cardscan be displayed once judging is complete.
Tagging:All work must have the price, name and address of the artist on the back.
Sales:Indicate the price including HST or NFS (Not for Sale) on the registration form. You must be prepared to accept cash or a cheque with two pieces of ID. The show takes a 10% commission. We will have a volunteer on hand to conduct transactions – but don’t be disappointed – sales are slow. Enter for the fun of exhibiting with 2,000 blooming plants.
Insurance: Our volunteers are very careful and problems are rare, but we are not responsible for loss or damage to exhibits. Please carry your own insurance.
We are looking forward to seeing your artistic talents on display in our art gallery!
