Addendum notes on the Brookside show:
The Brookside rules stipulate that "No contact information --- ". They will however allow a simple label for each painting listing the artist's name, title of the work, and price. Vicki Surles will prepare those labels for works submitted. Vicki will also prepare a more detailed list for Brookside for their records and for MAA .
Artists can submit applications either by mail OR by email. In either case, they should include all information requested on the printed application. Work must be delivered to Brookside on Saturday, Oct. 31 between 9:00 and 9:30. The previous show will be coming down at that time and we have to be finished hanging our show by noon. Brookside has afternoon programs and we need to be finished and out of the area by noon so we won't dis turb any scheduled activities.
