In order for the gallery to be able to hang your painting please follow these directions:
Send Mary Alice the title, location, media and dimension of each piece listing the height x width.  Put this same information on the back of each piece.  Please put a #12 screw eye on each side of the frame. the hanging system has ceiling wires with hooks.  The Mayo Clinic does not want prices listed or any publicity for this show. The main purpose is  for the enjoyment of the patients, and staff. Last year two pieces were sold after the show- the Gallery Director does take information from interested parties who want to make a purchase.

   What a fantastic day at Hassayumpa!  Thank you to all who participated, the Nature Conservancy was very happy with the quality of the paintings and it is a wonderful show.  Thank you to Az Art Supply for the gift certificates.  The scenes were not easy to paint but everyone came out with lovely pieces and we also had several brand new members attend.  We have been asked to do this again next year so if you missed it in 09 don't miss it in 2010.

   Thank You to Judith Rickter for having all
of us to her home and serving an amazing BBQ,
potatoes, margarita pie!   Here is the view from
her home in Wickenburg.
