Important News! Winter Show Postponed!!!!

HELLO!

MEETING

We will be meeting this week. Why? Keep reading.
Our meeting will take place at Little Hamilton / Firebrand. Details below.

THE BAD NEWS

Abominable Art Show is not taking place this Friday December 12.
We are SO VERY sad and sorry about this and have tried to work it out so many ways, but unfortunately things sometimes happen beyond our control. Please understand that we have done everything we can do to prevent this and make it right. Please bear with us and your fellow artists during this time.

THE GOOD NEWS

We are still having a show! It is just postponed a week until December 19. Instead of completely canceling the show, we have worked it out with the venue to set up next week.

We will be emailing the artists who have signed up with details about next week. IF you do not receive an email on Tuesday the 9th and you thought you signed up, email us asap! We will also need to know if those of you who registered cannot participate next week.

The registration is full! There are around 125 artists registered right now! So, we cannot accept any new artists next week.

There may be a few changes in installation for next week and we may be asking you to help install panels on Wednesday instead of Thursday of next week. Look for details soon.

GALLERY EAST OPPORTUNITY

To assist Gallery East, we created a survey to give us an idea of how many of you had interest in participating in this Saturday's event. This is a first come first serve basis. Gallery East will contact you about hanging artwork for the event on Saturday, December 13, 2008.


PRESS & PROMO

Press, posters, and invites will be updated as soon as we can make it happen. Please bear with us. There are many things to correct and update. Check and refresh the website.
