Setting up the 24th Annual Shades of Summer Art Show

Last night as usual we set up the panels and tables for the Shades of Summer Art Show and Sale.

Some of the artists set their art onto the panels last night so that they would not have to return the day before the show while others preferred to come back today to set up their art without having to rush to finish setting up everything.

It didn't take long for those of us who returned today to move all the boxes and bags holding their artwork into the Church and start unpacking the larger pieces. Once they were set in place on the panels it was easy to hang the rest of the paintings around them.

Once the main panels were finally filled it was time to put a couple of paintings up on the front panels where our theme for this show was "Cottage Country".

















By then it was time to take a break and most of the artists went next door to the Cody Inn to have lunch and relax for a little while before either returning to finish hanging their work or heading home to enjoy the rest of their day.

There is space for each artist to hang a few smaller paintings on the short grids set up on the front table and display their brochures and business cards in front of them.

Each artist also has a section of space on the tables, which run along the outside edge of the church hall for cards, brochures, containers with matted and shrink wrapped paintings, small paintings set on easels or binders with unframed original art.

Lastly everyone leaves a list of their artwork at the front desk.

We look forward to seeing some of you at our show during the next nine days.
