Arteast members are encouraged to hang their art work in any of the four Ottawa East libraries listed below. It's an opportunity to show your work and share your talent. Art can be for sale or not. Hanging is on a "first come-first serve" basis (except for Blackburn Hamlet Library). Calls for artwork for these libraries are announced in the quarterly newsletter Communiqué, and by e-mail. Changeover dates are also noted in the calendar at this website.
The selection of works for these libraries changes every two months in: January, March, May, July, September and November (the uneven months).
All pieces must be ready for hanging with appropriate framing and hardware. Arteast volunteer library coordinators reserve the right to reject pieces because of technical or space reasons. These coordinators also facilitate the process by notifying members, by email, of the next hanging dates, receiving the art and ensuring that everything is properly labelled–with name of artist, title, medium, dimensions, phone number, and cost (if for sale). Once displayed in the library, members of the general public may contact you to see more of your work or buy the art that is for sale. Artists who need to arrange pickup of any sold art are to contact the appropriate coordinator beforehand.
The opportunity to show your work at these four libraries is free to Arteast members. We do however request that a 10% commission on the sale price be forwarded to Arteast. This commission helps support our many activities.
Library staff and visitors often mention that they enjoy the art and the chance to support local artists.
