II. Artwork
- Only professionally presented work will be

tones, and un-scratched frames are basic requirements.
- One large print (under 9 square feet) or two
small prints (16" x 14" max) may be presented for
monthly hanging. The Presentation/Hanging Committee makes
the final decision on whether a piece is hung based on space
availability and professional quality. Members must present
a small print if a large print was hung the previous month.

of prints in the Gallery:
- Bins: 12 foamcore-backed, shrink-wrapped,
archivally presented prints with the Gallery's Certificate
of Authenticity and price affixed to the back
- Flat Files: 17 prints in a portfolio
(provided by the Gallery), with acid-free glassine paper
between each print and a typed price list in the Gallery
price book
- One archivally framed print each month
hung on the wall
- All bin and flat file work must be replaced
every six months and must be in pristine condition.
- Members are encouraged to show 12 new prints
each year. Alternate states of the same print are acceptable.
Older work may be shown if it has not already been shown in
the Gallery. Works from one-person shows may be shown again,
but only once in a 12-month period.
- If there is evidence of a lack of serious
productivity or new printmaking, members may be requested
by the Board or the Hanging Committee to submit their portfolios
for review.
III. One-Person Shows
- Each member may expect to have an individual
show every 2-3 years. Each artist must have been a member
for one year, and must be in good standing financially with
the Gallery.
IV. Training
- A Training Day in the Gallery for new members
will be scheduled by the sponsoring artist member and/or the
Gallery Director.
V. Gallery Bio-Books
- Each member will put together a bio-book for
the Gallery. This three-ring, white binder should include
news articles, invitations, snapshots, awards, accolades,
