Binwork

At a recent meeting, we were discussing bin work that members can have at the Spring Show, and someone asked, "What is a bin?"
Great question.

A bin is also called a folding canvas print rack, and they are sometime listed as such on art supply web sites. Artists who work in 2D art, who paint or photograph, will find a bin very handy for holding their flat, unframed, wrapped and/or matted art pieces for shows. The art may be smaller in size and lower in price. Visitors to art shows enjoy looking through art in the bins, and often the pieces sell better than hanging or juried art.



Every WAA member is allowed to have a bin of their art - up to ten pieces - whether or not they are juried in to the show. This is a perk of being a member. 
However, members must provide their own bins, and must bring them on Monday April 4 with their art.
No bin. No participation.

If you need a bin of your own, you may want to order one. We would advise against the smallest size.
You may have to assemble it when it arrives.
You can check bins out using these links.
