December 1, 2021, through January 16, 2022

Artist Center at the Galen in Palm Desert

In Person to December 21, then continuing online to January 16

 

Artists are constantly growing, developing, and experimenting. This process results in exciting new works. Meanwhile, inside our new home at the Artists Center at the Galen, the Artists Council wants to offer our member artists occasional opportunities for in-person displays of their work, which also will help us meet our goal of keeping artwork on the walls in between regular exhibitions. Hence the concept of a “POP-UP” show. To introduce the POP-UP concept, we plan to feature a collection already in the works: the Artists Council Member Gallery. Thus, we invite our current Member Gallery participants to submit one piece in person (from the artwork already featured online on our website) to our very first PRIME TIME POP-UP Show and Sale in-person at the Artists Center. 

​

If you want to review which piece you currently have in the Member Gallery, you can find it online at: https://artistscouncilimages.com/member-gallery Please note: While we welcome more entries to the Member Gallery throughout the year, the deadline was November 12th for entering or updating your Member Gallery artwork AND to have it be included in the POP-UP Show.

 

TO ENTER THE PRIME TIME POP-UP SHOW

• Register for this show here.  

• Registration Fee: $35 for entering your Member Gallery artwork to the in-person show

• Pay with a major credit card via the online application form

• Only one artwork per applicant will be accepted into the show; we will intake ONLY those pieces already participating in the online Member Gallery.

• Some artists now have two pieces in the Member Gallery; this is because unsold artworks that were part of last summer’s “Hot Times – Cool Art” Virtual Exhibition and Sale were rolled over into the Member Gallery as per that exhibition’s prospectus. If you do have a second piece in the Member Gallery, please let us know which artwork you want to submit to this Pop-Up Show by identifying the title in your registration form.
