We will be hanging art in the hallway at the Hershey Library starting this September. Please make a note of the following dates to put up and take down art. I will be at the Library from 9:30 till 11:00 AM on Saturday, September 4th to hang our exhibit for September and October. As before the exhibits will hang for two months. Since we do not have a meeting before the September 4th date, I would appreciate an e-mail from you if you intend to hang your art on the September 4th date so I know how many members to expect.

The display will be changed every two months. By the way, this Hallway Exhibit does not include the cases in the lobby. That is a separate exhibit. Your Chairperson is Sharon Solie (ssolie@paonline.com or 717-964-2336) for the Hallway exhibit. Connie Davis is the Chair for the glass cases in the lobby, and you may contact her at conniescreations@comcast.net or 717-469-7233.
Please read the following HANGING GUIDELINES:
Delivery/Takedown time is 9:30 - 11:00 AM for all dates - be as prompt as you can out of respect for everyone involved.
IF YOU CANNOT MAKE THE DELIVERY'/TAKEDOWN TIMES, PLEASE FIND SOMEONE TO BRING/TAKE YOUR PAINTING FOR YOU.
SIGNUPS:
We will accept no more than 30 participants. The rest will be waitlisted and be first on the list for the next hallway show.
Deadline or signups for shows is one week or so prior to each show delivery/takedown date.
If you signup and decide to cancel, please notify the Chairs.
Your dues must be current to exhibit.
We will be in touch with those of you on the signup list closer to the dates of the shows.
SALES:
Paintings may be marked for sale or marked NFS.
Sales will not be handled by the library staff, and paintings will not be stored or handled in any way by the staff.
You will be responsible for your own sales (like the Hershey Medical Center shows for those who are familiar).
Please put your contact/sales information on the front or back of the painting for those interested in purchasing your work.
COMMISSION AND FEE:
A $2 fee will be charged for each piece hung, and will be collected the day of delivery (please bring exact cash if possible). If you are using a check, make it payable to Hershey Area Art Association. If you sell a piece you may replace it with another and no extra fee will be charged.
The library is asking a 10% commission on all sales. Please send your commission check to the library (made out to the library) in a timely fashion and include a note telling what it is for.
TYPE OF ARTWORK:
Only original two-dimensional work will be accepted. Depending on the number of signups, no more than 1 or 2 pieces because at this time we only have 40 hooks.
Work must be framed (no exposed glass edges), wired, and ready to hang. No overly large or very heavy pieces will be accepted and odd-sized pieces (such as very long and narrow) are hard to hang. Some of you are not prolific painters. You may alternate the same pieces every other show. The Chairs of the show have the right to refuse work.
LIABILITY:
The LIBRARY OR HAAA is not responsible for theft or damage to artwork. Check the Now You Know policies in this newsletter.
Please contact Sharon Solie at ssolie@paonline.com to sign-up or if you have any questions.
Thank you for your participation in this and other exhibits.
