1.

It is important to replace at least 50% of your artwork to refresh your wall.

2.

All NEW Inventory (not already in ArtCloud) must be submitted no later than the date specified above for this rotation. 

1. Submit NEW inventory that you expect to hang, including up to 2 extra pieces if you are unsure about space. 
2. Send your NEW inventory via your Artist Account in ArtCloud (preferred)
3. If you are unable to use ArtCloud, send detailed information and photos to inventory@redhousegallery.org. 
4. In addition to submitting your NEW items for addition to ArtCloud, ALSO email the following to inventory@redhousegallery.org:
   • A list of Inventory Numbers for any items you expect to move from another Red House location (e.g. studio, present wall) 
   • A list of Inventory Numbers of currently displayed artwork that you will be removing from your wall
   • If you are returning artwork to your studio, please indicate these Inventory Numbers as well in your email. 
5. Artists will be provided a PDF report of their anticipated wall/shelf inventory (including “extras”). It is your responsibility to confirm all information.
6. If there is a discrepancy in the information on the PDF, notify the inventory team via inventory@redhousegallery.org immediately.

3.

After the inventory team has processed your confirmed artwork, you will receive a PDF to print your tags. Do not create your own tag style. Tag content and style must match what is in the ArtCloud PDF exactly.

1. Artists are responsible for printing at least one complete set of fresh wall tags and using these when rotating. 
2. Print 2 tags – one to label the back or bottom of your artwork and one for the wall. 
3. Shelf artists may choose to use a single standard tag placed on the shelf or wall and affix a small hang tag or “gummy” label as needed to fit the size of their work. Such tags MUST include, at a minimum, the Inventory Number and Price.
4. If you choose, you can purchase Avery 8871 blank business cards, so you won’t need to cut them out. 
5. If you cut them yourself, they must be business card size only (3.5” x 2.0”). There is a small paper cutter in the Art Education Room for you to use. 
6. Place your wall tag next to or under the artwork.

Additional information

1. Only bring in artwork that is in the SVAL inventory and that has a printed tag from ArtCloud. DO NOT bring in other artwork expecting it to be entered into the system.
2. There will be a freeze on all new inventory submissions during rotation and new exhibition installation, except for exhibition entries and replacements of sold work in the gallery.

Wall installation – Please comply with the installation guidelines.

1. Wiring for hanging.
   1. Place D-rings about 1/3” the length of the frame from the top edge of the frame.  
   2. Use thick, multistrand wire.  
   3. Tighten the wire to about 2½ - 3 inches from the top edge.  
   4. It is sometimes helpful to wrap the area of the wire that is on the hook or holder. If using a cleat-style holder on the rod, ensure that the wire can NOT get stuck in the gap! Add tape if necessary to prevent this. 
2. The top of your artwork/frame must not extend above 90” from the floor and the bottom of the artwork/frame must not extend below 30” from the floor.
3. Keep at minimum of 3” on all sides of your artwork.  There should be 6” between walls (the combined 3” from each wall).
4. For the best effect determine the midpoint of the wall, 60” from the floor and mark with blue tape.
   1. Measure each painting (including frame) you plan to place on one rod. Add an additional 3” between each painting.  The total cannot be more than 60”.  
   2. Divide the total by 2.  Mark this point on the appropriate artwork using blue tape. This is the midpoint of the work to be hung.  
   3. Line up the midpoint of the artwork with the midpoint on the wall.  This places your artwork at the best advantage for viewing.  
5. It is essential to maintain a professional appearance and avoid overcrowding of pieces. Remember, sometimes less is more.
6. You will have 3 rods and 9 hooks.  If you need additional rods, you can order them from Tina.  
7. Use mounting putty to stabilize the rods behind each hook.  
8. Level artwork and use mounting putty at the bottom of your frame to the rod to maintain.

6.

After installation, artists will send an email to inventory@redhousegallery.org either confirming that they hung/shelved all items on their list, or notifying the inventory team which items on the PDF list are NOT currently in the gallery.  This verifies that we the correct location information in ArtCloud.
