Great Opportunities to Show your Stuff

The managers of Postoak Lodge and The Phillips Theological Seminary have both chosen to promote the Artists of Alpha Rho Tau by selecting them from the  A.R.T. member's Facebook Page PHOTO ALBUMS. 

Both venues have wonderful Galleries for visitors to view art.

These are great opportunities to share your art in public/private setting and the exhibits are each generally changed quarterly.

In order to be selected you must be a current member of Alpha Rho Tau civic art association.

Create a Photo Album* of your work (up to 14 pieces) on the A.R.T member's page.

These photos should represent a good sample of your talent but they don't have to be the ones you end up exhibiting.

The work you exhibit may be marked NFS if you wish.

If selected to exhibit at one of these venues you will be contacted by the A.R.T. Exhibits Chair to make preparations.

*Refer to the January 2018 Newsletter for instructions on creating a Photo Album
