Registration Opens August 10 - September 8

Show Opens September 12-13

Calling all LSC artists!  All members are encouraged to participate in our group show at the Yellow Barn Gallery.  Many of our members have taken classes here and this is your opportunity to showcase your work.  There is no show theme - you may submit any subject.

You can read more about the Yellow Barn Gallery HERE 

Artists may enter up to three pieces of art, one larger than 16x20 plus one 16x20 or smaller, or three 16x20 or smaller. All sales will be processed through the Yellow Barn Gallery.  The commission for artwork sold is 35%.  The artist receives 65% on the gross total (before tax) of their sales, minus 5% for bankcard fees on bankcard sales only. Artists can expect to receive payment for sales 30-40 days after the show. 

Since the show is located in Glen Echo, MD, we are offering to pick up and transport some art to make your participation in the show easier.  However, to make this offer work, we need one or two volunteers willing to pick up art at a central location and drive to the gallery.  Contact Pam at lsc.president2025@gmail.com with questions. A few more volunteers are needed, see the sign-up link below.
