Your framed image or images should be brought to Newton City Hall on May 1st between 9:00  and 10:30am. If you are not able to make this time, please make arrangements with another NCC member to drop off your prints.

After the images are hung, we have an opening reception on March 8th which we hope all participants will attend. The rest of the club should also attend, along with the many people you invite. All attending club members (participants in particular) should bring a refreshment contribution for the reception. Please sign up to bring a refreshment.

At the end of the show, please pick up your prints or make arrangements for someone else to collect them between 9:00 and 10:30am on May 30th.

Framing

 

  • Label your framed images!
    Put your name, title and the price (or NFS..not for sale) on a label on the back of each framed work. If plexiglass is used, please also add a P to the label so we don’t try and clean them with Windex.
