Benefits
Opportunities to show in two exhibition galleries, space in our print bin, and promotion by our Sales & Rental director, referrals, commissions, lectures, trips and our newsletter. Twenty-two exhibitions a year are planned by the Show Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Members may attend Exhibition Committee meetings by notifying the office and are encouraged to share their ideas.

Submitting Work to Shows
Artwork submitted to shows must be presented in a professional manner, ready for hanging. Instant frames, such as u-bank and gallery clips are not acceptable. CAA is not responsible for damage caused by faulty mounting, framing, or wiring. Sculptors must supply clean pedestals. All work submitted to shows, print bin, and sales & rental should be labeled on the back with the artist's name, phone number, medium, size, title, and price/value, including NFS. In all cases, work must be registered in the log book for each exhibition. It is important that all work be submitted and picked up according to the schedule on show information sheets.
