Youth Art Month: Under the Microscope

Just a reminder, the installation for Youth Art Month is next Saturday! I've copied the info below. The reception/takedown is still not confirmed, but I will let you know when I have a definite date.

Thanks!

Theme: Under the Microscope

Place: The Jefferson Center in Downtown Roanoke

Dates:

Hanging: March 5, 12-2 pm

Reception: TBA

Take Down: TBA

Sorry the reception date and take down date are not yet determined. I wanted to make sure that you had as much time as possible to get work completed. I will let you know ASAP when the dates are set.

Preparation: Your work must be ready to be hung. The hanging system at the Jefferson Center consists of a piece of molding with a wire that comes down and ties onto the wire on the back of your work. Please come prepared. No artwork should be taped to the wall. All sculptures should be displayed on a pedestal. You are responsible for supplying the pedestal.

Label: See the attached document for a label format. Print this on white paper and mount it to black construction paper, creating a nice simple border. These labels can be taped to the wall beside the artwork with gaffers tape. The tape will be provided by the Jefferson Center. DO NOT use any other tape on the walls.

Hanging: If you cannot make it on the date to hang the artwork, please make arrangements to have your work hung by another member or contact a member of the board.

Answers to common questions:

How many pieces can I bring?- As many as you'd like.

Do I need to have it framed? Not necessary, but all work must be ready to be hung.

Can I bring sculpture? Yes, if you bring your own display table/stand/pedestal.

Can I _________? Yes, we trust you!!! This is an Art Educators organization- we trust that you are intelligent and creative. We do not want to stifle your creativity by setting a lot of limits. We give you a general theme and let you go to town with however you choose. We only hope that participation grows and you have a good time being with us. We're in a box all day and hope that these activities give you a chance to get out of that box- in more than one way! *Please note: all age groups and a variety of religious organizations use the Jefferson Center. Please make sure the artwork is respectful of this.

Please let me know if you plan to participate in this wonderful opportunity to showcase your students' work. Have a great day!
