a scene of uproar and confusion.
Fall is the time for cooler days, crazy colors, and HALLOWEEN! At the Guild this year, we are celebrating with Bewitching Bedlam coming in late October. Bedlam is our annual member pop-up show when artists are given a hammer and nail, and hang their own works to create a free-for-all salon art experience. So, let’s make it boo-tiful this year! Anything goes…really. Just make it fun and fabulous, colorful and crazy!
Bewitching Bedlam Pop-Up runs for one week from Saturday, October 22 – Saturday, October 30.
Opening reception is Saturday October 22 from 4 to 6pm.
Costumes are encouraged! Let’s celebrate!
Entry Fee:
$10 per piece for as many as you want to enter.
Easy Breezy instructions:
Come to the RGA receiving with your art on Friday, Oct 21 or Saturday, Oct 22 from 2-4pm. Fill out an entry form and a wall tag for each piece, grab a hammer and nail, and hang your art on the wall. That’s where the bedlam begins! No equipment is necessary – the Guild has lots of tools and stepladders.
Details:
Any size work accepted…large, small and anything in between, including diptychs and triptychs (if paid for as one piece then sold as one piece).
Works must be wired and ready to hang in a secure, professional manner.
The show is open to RGA members 16 years of age and older. Memberships may be renewed during receiving.
New members will be accepted at receiving and will be eligible to enter the show. Membership is $55 and $30 for seniors and students per year. See rgoa.org membership page for all membership details.

Submit as many pieces as you like.
Sculpture/3-Dimensional art is welcome. Bring your piece ready to be installed or placed, and please bring your own pedestal, if possible. Sculpture should be secure on its base for safety reasons.
