- Opportunity: Hidden treasure, a local gourmet seafood and buffet restaurant, will be hosting its first art show on September fifth. We are interested in VCU students and all other artists to exhibit their work. Painting and sculpture are preferred. September fifth is first Friday of September, and we anticipate a large number of visitors, as the restaurant is already well known. Although we already have a sizable number of participating artists, we would love to have more locals and emerging artists to participate as well. It is a great opportunity for anyone wishing to get their name out to the public, and to sell some of their work.
- Information: The restaurant will be closing its normal service for that evening, however the show dose offer a wine tasting and butler style gourmet small foods. The show begins at five and ends at ten; however that may change to accommodate the entire day. Surrounding galleries have agreed to allow us to market in their facilities in exchange for a switch list (list of other galleries for the visitors at the restaurant to see) placed in the restaurant during the show. We hope that we will have a lot of visitors, and anticipate a busy evening. Upon request, we will allow unsold work to remain on display in the restaurant for an undetermined amount of time after the show.
- Requirements: Artist are responsible for the framing of all paper work, however work on canvass can remain unframed. Artists are invited from all genres of sculpture and painting. Please keep in mind that the faculties are not large enough to accommodate large sculptural works, or many over sized paintings. If you have a work you think may pose an issue of size, please contact us with its dimensions, and we will try our best to accommodate it. A small fee for participation will be charged, however no wall space rent, or sale commission will be collected by the restaurant. Artists may present, in the event they are not available to be present for the show, a concept overview and a description of each work so that questions can be answered if they are posed by a patron. Please respond as soon as possible, as the restaurant will be largely striped of tables and decor to make room for the work, and we need to know how many artists will be present to arrange the rooms appropriately. There is no limit on the number of pieces, however unless the works are small, please try to limit your pieces by about 5 to 7. Again, this is a great opportunity for any student or professional artist, and your best work should be in the show. We look forward to hearing from you!
