**There is a $20 exhibition charge. Please pay by RSVP'ing on Meetup, then pay the $20 exhibition fee **All Contributing Artists who intend to exhibit must upload up to four plein air paintings through this Meetup site by Friday November 21st. Please include title, size, medium, price and artist's name as a caption with each photo on Meetup. After you upload a painting you will see 3 dots on the upper right which allow you to add a caption. A few days before the show, we will determine how many paintings each Contributing Artist can display depending on how many artists choose to participate.

Please attach a label on the back of each painting with the same caption information plus contact information to allow a potential buyer to reach you. New this year: Contact information must include your phone number and email as well as the names and phone numbers of two people you designate to act on your behalf concerning sales. This is not a juried show but all plein air paintings will be checked by the library for suitability. Artists are responsible for handling the sale of their artwork including collection and remittance of Florida sales tax (which must be included in the price), 10% contribution to PAPB and 20% contribution to the Delray Beach Public Library. Please call Lynn Peterson (631 626-1853) or June Knopf (973 216-7993) if you are about to make a sale for help with paying the contributions and replacing a painting that is sold. All paintings exhibited will remain on display until the exhibit ends on February 5th unless sold, in which case the replacement painting will remain on exhibit until February 5th. Important: Please note that the exhibit actually ends on February 5th but pick up is on Friday, February 6th from 10AM to 12 noon.

IMPORTANT: There will be a Reception for the Plein Air Palm Beach Fine Art Show in the library’s first floor meeting room on Wednesday December 10th from 4 to 6 PM. The Reception will include a Holiday Pop-Up Sale of Unique Giftable items. We encourage all exhibiting artists to attend and to bring small artful items to sell. Please help make this show a success by bringing your friends and neighbors to both the reception and the show. The reception is a great opportunity for the public to get to know you and your art. The 10% contribution to PAPB and 20% contribution to the Delray Beach Public Library is not required for the small items sold at the Pop-Up Sale. However, 7% sales tax must be charged and paid for items sold at both the Pop-Up Sale and the Main Art Exhibit which will take place on the second floor of the library. Please let June Knopf or Lynn Peterson know by November 21st if you will be selling in the Pop-Up Sale as well as the Main Art Exhibit.

The Plein Air Palm Beach Fine Art Show is a wonderful opportunity to exhibit your art downtown during the height of the season. Please sign up and pay to become a Contributing Artist to participate in this show, then pay $20 to exhibit. Remember to pay the required fees on this Meetup site and upload images of your paintings and caption information to this Meetup site by the Monday, November 21st deadline.
