2. All artwork that is to be displayed must be ready and able to be hung on a wall (so be cognizant of the weight of your artwork).
3. All artwork is to be provided with the artists name, contact information, name of piece and price of piece.
4. Art will be submitted to the LOWAC representative who will oversee the placement of the art in the building.
5. Display of each piece of art will be for a period of 6 months, at which time art will be reassessed by both the LOWAC representative and the artist and either rotated or replaced with a new piece of art. The art will be hung by the LOWAC representative/volunteers.
6. If artwork is sold – The Artist will be contacted by the buyer and/or LOWAC representative regarding the sale of the artwork. The Artist will make arrangements with the buyer regarding payment of their artwork.
