The Anita London Memorial Display


The Anita London Memorial Display cabinet in the gallery of the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg will accept your finest works for display. You must be a member of FSG to participate in the display. The pieces do not have to be for sale. If a piece is for sale, Morean Arts Center takes a 45% commission from the sale price.

The dates are as follows:
Display dates: Jan 18 - April 17
Display dates: April 17 - June 6
Display dates: June 6 - Aug. 26
Display dates: Aug. 26 - Sept. 30
Display dates: Sept 30 - Dec. 31st.

Instructions
Artwork needs to arrive one week prior to display date. Feel free to get a group together to mail in your pieces. I will need a single address to return the work submitted by a group. Individual contracts are needed however.



Morean Arts Center has recently asked that we limit the price of individual pieces to $500 or less per piece for insurance purposes. Please print and fill out this contract and send it with your artwork. Please be sure to indicate if a piece is for sale or display only! A countersigned copy will be returned to you.
