“Celebration of Birds” Invitational Exhibit annually in the month of February to coincide with Klamath Falls Winter Wings Festival
North American Bird Art Featured
The Klamath Art Association and Gallery is hosting a themed invitational exhibit every February 2023 titled “In Celebration of Birds.” This exhibit is in conjunction with the Winter Wings Festival held on President’s Day weekend. The gallery issues a call to artists, photographers, sculptors and crafts people to exhibit their creations featuring images of native North American birds during that month. The exhibit typically will open with an artist’s reception on February 5th from 12 noon to 4 pm and will run all month until Sunday, February 26th. Dates are also posted on the KAA Calendar page KAA Calendar
Both members and non-members of the Klamath Art Association are invited to display their creations. All work must be for sale and participants can make money from selling their work. The commission rate is 30% for non-members and 25% for members of the Klamath Art Association. To help defray the cost of publicity and refreshments, non-members are asked to pay an entry fee of $5.00 per work for artwork that is for wall display. For crafts items that are displayed on tables, there is a single flat $5.00 entry fee for non-member table space. Tabletop display space will be up to the discretion of the exhibit manager.
All work needs to be delivered in person to the Klamath Art Gallery at 120 Riverside Drive on Thursday, February 2nd, from 2 to 5:30 PM and unsold work needs to be picked up on February 26th from 3 pm to 5 pm. For questions or inventory and tag forms please send your e-mail request to: klamathartassoc@aol.com. Forms will be available at the gallery on Feb 2nd. You may also phone the gallery at 541-883-1833.
In order to insure that every member and every invitee is able to show examples of their work on our walls during group exhibits, there is a limit of two works if they are under 24″ x 36 inches on the outside of the frame or a total of 864 square inches (external measurements) if they are an odd shaped frame. OR: 1 work up to 28″ x 42″ as measured to the external edges of the frame or a total of 1,176 square inches as measured to external edges of an odd size frame. Framed work is preferred. All “wall” work must have wire back hangers clear across the back of the work. No hook or loop hangers. “Coloring Book” art is specifically excluded, as it is not original art. The gallery reserves the right to refuse work that does not fit the theme or does not meet the above requirements. NO exceptions. Complete exhibitor polices are available on the Klamath Art Gallery website at: Exhibit Policies
