What does it mean to be a member of the I Love Art Space Gallery?
Every participant gets space to show their creative work in the gallery.
Local members will fulfill their work requirement. Artists who spend some of the year away may keep their work but will pay a higher membership fee and percentage.
Each artist sets up their own allotted space with the help of the board of directors, but you may be asked to move after 3-4 months in the same space. This is to make sure that all members get a chance to be shown in different locations, and in the most prominent spaces. Each month we will feature one artist in our gallery and their work. This will be celebrated by a community welcome gathering the first Saturday of the month.
We are looking for participants who are excited about taking an active part in the space and helping the gallery be a vital and active space in the community.
Obligations of Membership
Artists pay a monthly membership fee of $60. With two months up front. That helps covers the overall rent for the space. The artist will commit to a minimum of 3 months.
Each member works a minimum of three 3-3 hour shifts amounting to 9 hours each month, alone in the gallery, taking care of the space and customers.
