The Steele Memorial Library does not want prices posted on the cards, and wants a list of paintings displayed.

Two month exhibits (like the Airport) count as 1 showing. (You need a minimum of 3 to qualify for the Palette Award entrance.)
7.
There will be a “Hold Harmless” statement to sign at the bottom of the artist’s list of paintings for the Airport, Appleridge, and the Library. (Jackie usually prints the sheets with the cards, but you will also find it on the website.)
Exhibition Cards – Quick response code (Optional) If desired, Jackie will add a QR code on the card she makes up for each painting for the Airport and Appleridge. If you would like this added, let her know when you give her your card information if you want your phone, e-mail or Web site QR code added to it.
They look like this: The code can be read by anyone who has a “Smart-phone”. It is an easier way to take down someone’s phone number, email, or website information.
Membership cards – Membership cards have been made up to be received by members when their annual dues are paid and will distinguish whether they are an associate or an exhibiting member. Receipts will also be given when dues are paid. Directory - The year you became a member of ERAS will be added to the info in the directory.
