Hospital Art Change Out
Here is the information you'll need if you are intending to, or thinking about, putting work in the Benson Hospital for the new installation...
DATES/TIMES: Tuesday afternoon, June 18th--anytime between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. OR
Wednesday morning,June 19--anytime between 9 a.m. and Noon.
PLACE: Benson Hospital--come to the SOUTH Main Entrance
(the drive area is marked with GREEN flags). Enter the building and immediately turn Left down a Hallway, then go through the double doors into the "Ocotillo Conference Room" where we'll be receiving new work and checking out pieces from the current exhibit. (This is where we did the change-out last time! Not to worry--if you get lost, folks will be happy to point you in the right direction!)
OTHER: IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE WORK AT THE HOSPITAL, you need to plan to pick it up on Tuesday or Wednesday, or contact me to make other arrangements... Hopefully you will replace current work with "new" ones!
NEW MEMBERS--if you would like to participate, you can bring up to FIVE pieces of HANGABLE art in ANY Medium. (Please be sure that it is wired and ready for hanging, and that your name and the title of the work is attached to the back of each piece). Work MAY be for sale, but does not have to be. There is NO Charge to participate, but the hospital will take a 20% commission on any sold work, so price accordingly.
So that's all there is to it! If you have some "extra" art or photography in your house or studio, and if you have a small amount of free time on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning--please bring it to the Benson Hospital so that we can have a successful Change-Out and display some lovely "new" work on the hospital walls... Thanks!! Brenda Peo

However, fraudulent copies can also be recreated by hand, so an original must be produced by hand by the original, authentic artist.
