Regular Members may exhibit and sell their artwork in our series of Specialty Shows, held throughout the year in the Studio Gallery, to coincide with our bi-monthly Main Gallery Member Show Openings and Receptions. Regular Members are encouraged to submit their artwork to our Art Jury, which occurs once a year. Artists selected by Jury are eligible to become Gallery members and may take part in the bi-monthly shows held in our spacious gallery.
Juried Gallery Members are invited to display and sell their work in our bi-monthly Members Shows held in the Main Gallery. In return for exhibiting in the Gallery, they are required to act as hosts in the gallery one day each month. The DAC takes a 35% commission on all sales to support its operations and outreach programs. The balance goes directly to the artists.
