Artists Guild Gallery at the Café
        In addition to the requirements listed above, work may not exceed 10 lbs. Gadsden Arts provides “s” hooks for
         hanging the art; use 2 hooks per piece on the wire wall grid.
        The Artists Guild Gallery does not offer a fire sprinkler system, and there is no gallery track lighting. There is
         overhead lighting throughout.
        The GAC Artists Guild Gallery is open during operating hours of Café (Mon-Sat, 10am–3pm).
        The Gadsden Arts Center does not provide property insurance coverage for works of art exhibited in the Artists Guild
         Gallery. GAC Staff take care to properly manage and protect the space and works therein; however, the exhibiting
         artists accept complete liability for damage or loss to works of art exhibited in the GAC Artists Guild Gallery.
Remember
     When bringing work for the Bates Community Room Gallery for an Artists Guild exhibition, bring 1-2 works of art.
