Additional Info:
Art on the Line + Online Sale
- This year, we are going back to our roots and re-introducing a larger, LAC-run tented-area to showcase even more works on the Clothesline! This means that pieces submitted for our online sale will be available to shoppers online AND they will be displayed during the in-person market weekend.
- You may submit up to 5 pieces for consideration for the online sale. No substitutions will be accepted.
- Maximum size is 20″ wide x 24″ tall. Works must be UNFRAMED for hanging on the clothesline.
- Canvas works wrapped in plastic must have space left in the packaging for the clothespin to hang the work on the line.
- Online Sale will be available for view/purchase in our Online Gallery Shop from June 1 – 30.
Art Market Booth
- If you are applying for a booth, please submit 5 pieces that are representative of your current art practice. If accepted for a booth, you may bring any original artworks you choose.
- Artists are welcome to conduct demonstrations of their art practices at their booths, please indicate what you are planning to do for your demo below.
- Two artists may apply to share a booth but each must submit the application form. There is a spot to indicate that you wish to share the booth.
- Market participants are responsible for providing all equipment needed to set up their booth/tent, within an assigned 10′ x 10′ foot outdoor area. This may include table(s), chair(s), an umbrella or tent, grid walls or other display equipment. You may want to bring a wagon to help move equipment from the parking lot and an extra person to help you set up/take down.
