We invite area artists to participate in our annual Fall Art Show & Sale, held in conjunction with the East Texas Arboretum's Fall Festival. Date: Saturday, October 24th. Time: 9:00-3:00. Location: upstairs room of the Woman's Building at the arboretum (1601 Patterson Road in Athens). This is not a judged show & there is no entry fee to participate. There is a 20% commission on all sales. This goes for art club members as well as non-members.
We will set up and accept artworks on Friday, October 23rd. Any member helping set up our display stands will need to be there at 10:00 a.m. that day. Artwork drop-off for all participants will be on the 23rd between 11:00 &: 3:00. Artists with work in the show do not need to stay on-site during the show hours, but WILL need to pick up their artwork between 3:00 & 4:30 on the 24th. If anyone cannot pick up their art themselves, they can designate someone to pick it up for them. The Henderson County Art Club is not responsible for any artwork not picked up by 4:30 p.m. on October 24th!
Anyone who stays during the show will need to arrive at the arboretum by 8:15 a.m. at the latest, park in the lower parking lot behind the building, & be prepared to stay for the duration of the show. There will be food trucks filling the upper parking lot, so leaving before 3:00 will not be possible.
Since we will be doing the Fall show, we will not have a paint-in in October. Because of the Thanksgiving holiday, we won't have one in November, either.
