If you are painting a small canvas for this section, please adhere to the size. No bigger than 25cm in either direction, this is including the frame. Priced from $5 up to $100 in multiples of $5. Artist’s Name, the Title, and Price clearly on the back and of course ready to hang. Cards must also have the Artist’ name clearly displayed so as you can be paid. AND DON’T FORGET The Yellow consignment form must be filled out for all that is for sale in the Gift Shop THE HANGING FEE As most are aware, the hanging fee has reverted back to the $5 per painting as it was. The previous fee of $5 for the 2 paintings proved to be not feasible, however it was worth a try. If you don’t try out some things you would never know if they would work for you. In this case it was a negative result and that means it was not a good thing for you or the gallery as a whole.
