Mall Window Exhibit

Congratulations to Jennifer Mishoe for the sale of “Peacock” from the mall window!

If you have artwork exhibited in the mall window please be at the window to pick up your artwork at 10:00 on Wednesday, September 25. Thank you!

As a member of the WAA, if you would like to exhibit (2) art pieces in the mall window, on Wednesday, September 25 until Thursday, November 21, please send an email to anitajacquesart@gmail.com with:

TITLE.   ARTIST NAME.   DIMENSIONS.   MEDIUM.   CONTACT INFO.  PRICE.
 

There is room in the window for approximately 10 artists to exhibit 2 art pieces and is on a first to sign up basis. The art remains on display for 2 months.
The Independence Mall management is providing the WAA (non-profit organization) with window space in an un-rented store -- at no charge. The WAA exhibit is located to the left of the mall entrance into BELK'S Department Store.

Due to not having a way to process sales the WAA does not require a fee or commission to exhibit in the mall window. When a customer is interested in your art piece they will use the information provided on the hang tag and either call or email the artist directly. The artist will then notify Anita Jacques to make the arrangements to retrieve the artwork:
