Visit our YouTube page (youtube.com/user/SouthCarolinaArtists) to learn how to wire your art
We have guidelines to assist with many possible situations, but not all. If you have questions contact Caroline or your Rotation Director.
Professionalism
- Professionalism is an essential part of building trust and relationships with collectors, businesses and the artists community.
- Do not contact exhibiting locations regarding rotation times, sales or private exhibits*. Never take it upon yourself to change, rotate or contact the business, it is unbecoming and unprofessional.
- Always contact your Rotation Director for schedule changes.
Art
Great Video on How to Pack your Art Here
- All art is to be wired, framed (or sides painted), tagged and ready to sell.
- No staples should show on the side of art. No saw-tooth hangers.
- Work that is still wet is not acceptable for exhibit is not acceptable.
- We exhibit in businesses that are open to the public and DO NOT allow art that depicts; nudity, all forms of religion, horror, erotic or graphic violence, overtly political or generally creeps people out.
Tags
- SCA tags (on Call-to-Artists page) are to be used; personal business cards are not tags.
- If you would like to create your own tags they must state "SouthCarolinaArtists.com" or "South Carolina Artists Exhibit".
Handwritten tags
(as shown on SCA tags) title, artist name, phone # & price or NFS.
- Do not write in cursive, add email, website, social network or other impertinent information, it looks messy.
- Messy tags makes your art & the exhibit look messy.
- Art will be removed if not corrected.
Communication
- All members should maintain communication regarding exhibits, shows or rotations.
- Which means text the Rotation Director when you are late or not coming to the exhibit.
Installations & rotations
- Dates & times are arranged through the Rotation Directors.
- Do not contact the owner of any location to set up your own time, arrange exhibits.
- Rotation Directors attend all rotations and will reject any work not suitable for exhibit (i.e. unacceptable work or not wired).
- Solo exhibits do not allow back-to-back exhibits.
- It is the responsibility of each artist to collect their art at every rotation. Neither the location or our group is able to store art.
- Work not collected at rotation will be donated.
Maintenance
- Pictures are taken at installations only for promotion.
- Artists should maintain a personal record of location, titles & prices.
- Art is to remain at location for listed length of time.
- No empty spaces are allowed, if you sell or remove art you must replace it immediately.
Rotation Directors
- Each RD has years of experience and expertise.
- They assist in hanging art, take pictures to help promote location & exhibit. When in doubt, contact your RD.
If you do not understand these Guidelines contact the Director to set up a Mentor Meet-up
*Failure to adhere to SCA guidelines may require removal from exhibit or SCA.
