Celebrating Shaker Artists Shaker Artist Exhibit Please join us in celebrating *SHAC-aversary*, the Shaker Arts Council’s (SHAC) 21st birthday. We are inviting local artists to participate in a two-day exhibit, *Celebrating Shaker Artists*, to accompany the fundraising festivities on Friday evening 17 May 2024 and the free, open-to-the public activity on Saturday 18 May 2024. All events will take place at *Edwins Too*, 13220 Shaker Square, Cleveland. Artists are invited to submit up to three (3) pieces appropriate for a family-friendly event; at least one (1) piece by each artist will be displayed, unless deemed inappropriate by the exhibit curator. Depending on available space and the decision of the curator, additional pieces may be shown. If desired by the artist, artwork will be for sale; 70% will go to the artist, 30% to SHAC. All payments will be made to SHAC, and checks will be issued to the artists the week following the celebration. Friday evening buyers may take their work at the end of the gala. Based on the curator’s advice, additional pieces will be added to fill in any empty spots for the Saturday celebration. Saturday buyers will take pieces once they have paid SHAC for the work. Otherwise, purchasers will pick up the art on Saturday afternoon during the artists’ artwork pick-up. Eligibility: This call is open to artists who are 18 years or older and who live and/or work in the Shaker Heights school district or are members of SHAC.
