This year’s Display Committee has two goals. First, the committee is looking at ways to increase display (sale) space while maintaining an organized, uncluttered appearance. Secondly, it is investigating how to make sale space more equitable for all members. To meet these goals the committee will be implementing a few changes over the next few months; each change will be closely monitored to evaluate and assess its effectivness. 

Stained Glass members may have already noticed one change. Items for sale are now limited to a one-year display time. In order to track that time, Display Committee members have been color coding the sales tickets based on the date the piece was originally displayed. Members will be notified when an item needs to be removed. By tracking how long an item has been for sale in the studio, more display space will become available on a regular basis. 

The next notable upcoming change is one way the committee hopes to address the issue of giving all members the same opportunity to display and sell items through the club. A key point in this change is that only members of the Display Committee will tag items and put them on display. As with all changes, this procedure will be monitored and reviewed.

The procedure for displaying sales items in the studio beginning April 1, 2024, follows.

1. The Display Committee will accept items to be displayed on the second and fourth Fridays of the month from noon - 3:00 pm. 
2. Club members must fill out the attached submission form for each piece to be considered for display. The item and accompanying form should be placed on the back table(s) near the computer.  Note- you can also find the form on the Club website under "Documents".  Paper copies available at the Studio.
3. The Display Committee will select items to be displayed based on space availability, the number of items an artist already has on display and the workmanship of the piece. 
4. The Display Committee will put the art tags on items based on the information on the forms. The items will be displayed the weekend following their submission. 
5. If an item is not selected for display, the artist will be notified and the artwork should be picked up by the following Monday.

Submission Guidelines: 

• Please limit your submissions to one panel (any size up to 24”x 20”) OR two shelf/counter items OR two suncatchers/nightlights. (Information on submitting smaller items will be coming soon.)
•  If submitting a large panel, please contact Becci ([email protected]) or Allison ([email protected]) before bringing it to the studio.
• In order to make the best use of space, please limit the number of identical items submitted for display. The committee is looking at a process for customers to contact the artist, if multiple items are desired.

 Additional changes will be coming to the wall, shelf and counter displays as options are investigated. Also, special considerations will be put into place prior to and after the fall craft fair. 

As the Display Committee works through the different procedures, please remember that all changes will be monitored and evaluated as they are introduced.
