"Old Stone House" Gallery

Invites Artists to Display Work

 

The Old Stone House -- the historic art gallery and community center in Hasbrouck, NY -- has once again issued a “Public Art Invitation” to artists wishing to display their works in 2012.

 

With two fabulous gallery rooms available, the Old Stone House is perfect for artists working with oils, watercolors, and other media suitable for wall hanging. Photographers also find the space ideal. Individual pieces can be as large as six feet high and ten feet wide. Sculptors providing their own display arrangements, such as tables and pedestals, are also welcome to participate.

 

For the past several years, the facility has hosted works by scores of highly regarded local and regional artists, usually on a rotating monthly calendar. Artists may sell their works at whatever prices they set, and a percentage of all sales revert to the Old Stone House itself for maintenance and upkeep.

 

Several month-long openings are available in 2012 so that previously under-recognized artists could benefit from an opportunity to show (and sell) their work to a larger audience.

 

The Old Stone House imposes surprisingly few requirements on its displaying artists. If not already a member of the facility, an artist must pay a $20 annual membership fee ($30 for families). Exhibitors are expected to host an opening-day reception, and arrange weekend display hours for the duration of a show. They are also responsible for hanging their own art, generating their own publicity, and removing any unsold art afterwards.
