1 Sandy Spring Museum Fine Art and Artisan Exhibit Show Dates: September 14 November 27, 2011 Reception: Sunday, September 18, 2011, 2:00 4:00 pm Due to the timing of the logistics of this show and the beginning of our ALOG year in September, much of the show preparation and paperwork must be done over our summer break. It will take the cooperation of all participants to achieve our goal of a successful show. Item 1. The registration form is provided by the Sandy Spring Museum and must be completed by each participant. The form has been modified on the back for submission of a second piece of 2-D artwork and for 3-D work.

3 2011 ALOG Sandy Spring Museum Show 3-D Participants Guidelines Each artist is encouraged to enter only his or her very best work, as this show reflects the type of work that ALOG artists produce. Note: This show overlaps with our own ALOG Fall Show, so any item(s) you put into the Sandy Spring show will NOT be available for the Fall Show. You may not remove any item from Sandy Spring before the end of the show. Space Limitations: With the current list of 3-D artists who are entering, we will accept 3 items from each participant. EACH item must have an entry tag: Title of Work, Name of Artist, Price of Item. Titles may reflect the medium or components, or be fanciful. Such as: Jewelry Tree Agate Pendant Strand, Silver Pendant with Celtic Ring, Blue Mood, or Ceramics Chip n Dip Set, Frog Ocarina, etc, NO untitled, please. Display: All 3-D works will be displayed in the Plexiglas covered cases provided by the Sandy Spring Museum. This includes sculpture. Cases vary from low and wide to ones that are much taller. For that reason, we want artists to know that it is possible that not everything each artist enters will be displayed. If that occurs, the work not on display will be returned at the October ALOG meeting. Jewelry: Jewelry will be displayed on forms, preferably similar to the black or white velvet type sold at stores like Michaels (necklace, bracelet, etc.) or online. This will enable us to present the work in an upright position, although a few pieces may be displayed flat on the floor of the case. We are unsure of how to display rings for easy viewing and will welcome suggestions, but there are stands to display them as well. Jewelers will have to provide their own display forms (necklace stand, rings, etc.) and please label same with your name and not for sale. Jewelers may enter a set as one item (necklace, earrings, bracelet in any combination as long as they are designed to be a set and can easily be displayed together). Ceramics and Stained Glass: Artist display stands will also be utilized, if provided, such as easels for platters, or a device to lift a small item for better viewing. (Please label as yours). We will allow a ceramic grouping similar to the jewelers such as a teapot with an accessory item, or plate, cup, bowl together. With our short time to work on this, everyone is going to have to be flexible and understanding if something is submitted as a set and only part of it can be displayed for space reasons. Sculpture: Follow the usual ALOG guidelines of weight and height restrictions, but keep it to a size that can be easily displayed in a covered case.
