Plaza Arts Center is accepting applications for Showcase artists. Healdsburg has become a premier destination for tourists from near and far, many of whom have an interest in our thriving arts community.

Showcase exhibits run for approximately four weeks, including four weekends. Each artist is allocated 8 linear feet of display space for wall-hung work. Appropriate floor and display space is available for 3-D artists and fine craftspeople.

Artwork may be wall hung, freestanding or pedestal-mounted (pedestals not provided). Etchings, serigraphs, stone lithographs, monoprints, and woodcuts, all of which are hand printed one at a time, are acceptable.

Plaza Arts retains the right to refuse any entry not consistent with these requirements.

Once an artist is accepted into his or her first Showcase, future dates may be reserved. There will be a Committee review of Showcase work periodically.

The fee is $125 per four week Showcase, payable in advance. Plaza Arts takes a commission of 25% of sales made in the gallery and on sales of artwork/commissions made through customer contact.

TO APPLY: Please send the following information: Name, address, day and evening phone numbers, email address and/or website (if available). Enclose:

If finished work is being submitted for application, please call the gallery for an appointment (707-431-1970). Mail your entry marked "Showcase" to Plaza Arts Gallery, 130 Plaza Street, Healdsburg, CA 95448. There is no date set for review entrant's work. Materials may be submitted at any time.

Maximum size--It is critical that dimensions and weight are indicated for each entry. Work must be able to fit into the allotted space. Wall-hung work may not weigh over 75 lbs. Freestanding work has minimal size limitations.

CONDITION: Plaza Arts will refuse an entry that is too fragile, poorly packaged, damaged or is unsafe to exhibit. Wet or unfinished work is not to be hung in the Gallery.

ARTIST RESPONSIBILITY: Artists are responsible for the legal and ethical integrity of their artwork. Artwork may be rejected by jurors if, in the juror's opinions, the work appears to be derived from another's art.

All reasonable care will be taken with the works, but insurance is the responsibility of the artist. Unless sold by Plaza Arts, selected work must be on view for the duration of the exhibit. Work must be picked up at the close of the show. After one week there will be a storage charge of $5 per day. Work left for more than 30 days will be considered property of Plaza Arts.

HANGING: All wall-hung work must be securely wired for hanging. Accepted work must be labeled on the back/bottom with artist's name, phone number, and title of piece.
