Local Displays

Locations where members’ art is on open display

Spring Hill

One of our favorite places with easy access is now in place  for a show come this fall in Springhill Recreation Center’s lower-level hallway.

Delivery time is on Tuesdays is 11:00 AM.  You can bring two paintings to display.  The paintings must have sturdy wires on the back.  Sawtooth brackets are not usable with our Walker hanging system.  You do not have to preregister.  Just fill in the labels and print them ahead of time.  Forms for the labels are available using the red button at the top of this page.

Clean mats on prints, photographs, and watercolors are mandatory as are frames or gallery-wrapped edges on acrylics or oils.  Artworks should meet the McLean Art Society’s Hanging Framing Standards also available using the red button at the top of this page.
