CALL FOR ENTRY - MEMBER EXHIBITION
We are inviting all members to submit work to be included in the Member Exhibition, July 12-August 13, 2010. This exhibition will highlight member work within the PCB community and will be a great way to introduce the general public to PCB. Please consider donating your work for the exhibition opening's silent auction to ensure that we can keep extended open hours for showcasing your work, and to expand the range of events we can host in the space. Members can choose to donate exhibition work to the silent auction on the application form.
To submit work, please send 3-5 images of no more than 3 works to store@philadelphiacenterforthebook.org along with the application by July 5. All accepted works must be delivered (in person) to the storefront by July 10.
CALL FOR ENTRY - SELL WORK IN OUR STORE
We are inviting all members to sell work in our store. The store area will showcase the broad range of talent within our membership and you are welcome to sell anything from books to T-shirts to prints and anything else made by your hand. There will be a price limit of $100 for anything sold in the store. Because member support and involvement is extremely important in this endeavor, we are asking that all work be sold on consignment at a percentage set by the artist between 25% and 50%. We are also asking that if you wish to sell in the store, you commit to volunteer for two 4 hour shifts during the 2.5 months we are open.
To submit work to sell in the store, please send 3 images along with a brief description of the type of work you would like to sell along with the consignment application to store@philadelphiacenterforthebook.org.
