Mark your calendars! Once again, BAGSC will be participating in the LA Garden Show at the Los Angeles Arboretum from April 30 – May 2. All botanical originals and prints are welcome.

Eligibility requirements include:

  1. Be a BAGSC member in good standing.
  2. Submit your entry fee of $35.00 per person for up to four (4) hanging framed entries (prints or originals) by the entry form date. Loose prints, cards, bookmarks, etc. are included in this low entry fee.
  3. Original work should have been created within the past two (2) years.  Prints of the original art may be exhibited in the show and may be for sale.
  4. Volunteer for shifts at the sales table, for show set-up or break down, or for other show-related activities. For those unable to volunteer, an additional fee of $50.00 or five percent of sales, will be charged whichever is greater.
  5. Sign and submit a waiver of liability with your application (included in the entry package).
  6. Read and comply with framing and other requirements from the entry package.

Some important dates to remember:

  • Deadline for receipt of show entry forms and checks to Norma: March 15, 2010
  • Art drop-off at the Arboretum: Thursday, April 29, 2010 between 9:30 am and noon
  • Show closing: Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 5:00 pm
  • Art pick-up: Sunday, May 2, 2010 between 5:00 pm and 6:30 pm.

All BAGSC members are encouraged to submit to this non-juried show, even if you haven’t shown before. The LA Garden Show is a wonderful way to show your work and get feedback. The show occurs right before Mother’s Day, so sales of cards, bookmarks and prints are always brisk. The Submissions Guidelines and Show Information will be emailed to all members. If you don’t receive yours, or if you have any additional questions, please contact this year’s exhibit chair, Norma.

See you there!
