Where in the space will the artwork be displayed?

I’m sorry I’ve been traveling this weekend so I’ve been away from technology on purpose.
Yes- you can submit all the information online up till (and actually on) the day you deliver the work. This just helps us keep it all organized in one area and also allows the art tags to remain in a consistent format.

Wonderful - I’ve also submitted it to Observer, Art + Seek, A kid centered website, I had the information sent to all the art teachers in Carrollton and I also forwarded the information to the writer of the Carrollton paper.

We will begin in the larger communal area (I believe they call it classroom #2) and after that is down we will branch out to the other walls in the space. We were going to place all the work in the hands-on classroom with it’s white walls it was a good choice but two of the walls are concrete so we had to think outside the box. We will see how much of makerspace we will take over.

If I want to enter some jewelry pieces, should I have them in frames or what? One of them will lend itself to being in a frame easily, one of the others could be and the third (the one I am thinking about) won’t really look right in a frame. I need to know if I need to switch it for another one.

I may try to get up Thurs night and pay dues—I have been traveling to shows a lot and just too little time at home.

Somehow they need to be secure. They will be living at the space until late June so somehow please make sure they are suitable to be viewed/be secure.
