FRESH PAINT! at the Alton Mill Art Centre.

About the Exhibition

FCAToronto Artists get ready to submit to our next show FRESH PAINT! at the Alton Mill Art Centre.
Fresh Paint! is open for 2-D submissions by FCAToronto Exhibiting members, and Signature members. This exhibition will be filled with light and movement, where interesting blends of paint and colour flows free!
Members should expect to help with this show and are required to sit it and/or help with hanging, the reception or take down. Sales will be done with e-transfer or cheques.
Since this gallery is a tourist destination, paintings will be taken down and given to the purchaser as they are sold.
The gallery itself will be open from Wednesday to Sunday each week of our tenure. The Pond Gallery is a lovely well-lit room with views of a pond from the gallery windows.
There are great spots at the gallery for some plein air painting while sitting the show if you wish.
Fresh Paint implies that the work is recent, and the show is open to all mediums and genres. Submit your best work to this juried show. Signature points will be earned.
Awards will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place as well as 3 Honourable Mentions. Carol Loeb SFCA will be our juror for the awards.
FCAToronto will take 10% commission on each sale and the gallery takes 20% on total sales over $3000.
Please let me know what days you would like to volunteer for this show.

*** And Artists, if the Arts Centre processes your sale, and not one of us, you will pay a 25% commission to them plus a 10% commission to the chapter. It can’t be avoided.

If we arrange an e-transfer for your sale it’ll be a 10% commission to us. We already have volunteers to cover take in and hanging, the reception and 8 of 19 ‘sitting’ days and we’re confident, once everyone gets their jury results, we’ll have more filled by June 11, a day here, a day there.
These are the dates that need to be covered. June 19,22,25,26,27,28,29, and July 2,3,4,5.

Please let Louise know when you can spare a day for an adventure to Alton Mill Arts Centre: [email protected]
