An invitation to participate
Local artists are invited to participate in the BlueShore’s Arts in View program. Artists should be aware of the following guidelines:
- Must be a local West Coast artist
- Works must typically fit in a 10" wide x 11" high space (with some potential exceptions)
- Exhibit space lends itself to three-dimensional art such as sculpture, pottery, and glass works
- A minimum of 15 items is required
- Items will need to be on display for a minimum of four months; ideally, we request that they remain longer so we can rotate your exhibit between branches (The artist is at liberty to swap out pieces with notice)
- In general, it is ideal if art works are available for sale; BlueShore does not take a commission or any proceeds of a sale. All funds go directly to the artist. If a work is sold, the artist should be able to replace it in a timely manner
- If works are available for sale; BlueShore will provide the information to the prospective buyer
