Art That Inspires Us, Call for Entry

Posted on by

CALLING ALL ART GUILD MEMBERS!

We are trying something a little different. Share your art collection! It can be your own work or someone else’s that you have hanging in your own home. Curate pieces that work well together and give the “exhibit” a name. Guidelines are detailed below.

AGP Members’ Art Collections Virtual Exhibition

Art That Inspires Us
June 6 – June 27

Deadline for Submission- June 2, 2020 7pm

Instructions:

1. Curate a new or showcase an existing “mini” exhibition of your own.
Assemble a few pieces of your favorite art (your own or other’s) or look anew at a single piece or current assemblage in your home or studio that inspires you. Photograph your “exhibit”.

Include your name, theme and title of your exhibition. Your theme and title can be the same (see attached example).

2. Email your mini exhibitions as a jpeg or pdf to agp.artguild@gmail.com.

If you have trouble adding text to your photo, please include text in the body of your email and we will design for you, time permitting. If you know you will need help, please get your submission in early so that we have enough time to help, at least 24 hours required.

COVID-19 Update

Posted on by

Please check with the Sanchez Art Center to see if its galleries are currently open or closed due to shelter-in-place restrictions. By extension the Art Guild activities are also paused.

We apologize for this inconvenience, and we hope you will continue to find solace in making art at home. In the meantime we have created a Gallery page to contain virtual exhibitions for view while we are unable to visit in-person.

Continue to visit here for other ongoing member news.

Please take care of yourselves, stay healthy and enjoy each day as much as possible. We will be here, ready to show your work once again, when this ordeal is resolved.

AGP Members Are The Best Volunteers!

Posted on by

AGP members are the best volunteers in the world. In the little over a year since I took over scheduling the staffers for the Sanchez Galleries, I have found that Left Coast Annual and 50/50 are the most difficult shows to fill. This year several AGP members signed up for a spot when they were picking up work from the previous show – Lost & Found. Still, at the end of that artwork pickup, there were about 14 spots to fill. On Sunday, 4/9, about noon, just after I had put my laundry in the washing machine, I send out an email to the AGP members, listing the dates & times that were still open.

A few minutes after I hit send, I got a response – yay!!! Just after I had confirmed that one, another email popped up. I confirmed that one and then went to put my clean clothes on the clothes line in my backyard to dry. I pulled a few weeds while I was out in the backyard and when I came back to the computer, about an hour after I had left, there were two more emails – and one of those AGP members was willing to do two spots – my favourite kind of people!!!

More emails came in throughout the afternoon & early evening.
By 9 pm Sunday evening I had only 6 spots left – YAY!!!
I sent another email with those 6 spots listed and went to bed shortly after that. When I got up Monday morning I had 4 new emails. On Tuesday before 5 pm I had received two more emails filling up the last to vacant spots. YAY, YAY, YIPPEE, HOORAY!!!!!
Art Guild Members are the BEST Volunteers in the entire World. And for that I am so grateful. ~charlotte, Gallery Staffing Coordinator
