Brookgreen Gardens Plein Air Guild, a dues-paying group, has been created for artists painting on the Brookgreen property. Guild members must be Brookgreen Gardens members and pay separate dues to participate in the Plein Air Guild.
Guidelines
· Artists must be Brookgreen Gardens members and Guild members.
· Guild membership dues are $75 per year and due in January of each year.
· A name badge will be issued to Guild members each year. Artists are requested to wear their name badges while in the Gardens.
· Artists may work at Brookgreen Gardens any day during normal operating hours with the exception of the dates of Nights of a Thousand Candles.
· Artists are requested not to block pathways and high traffic areas. Refrain from setting up your workspace in any flower beds.
· Small amounts of food and beverages are allowed in a small insulated bag. No hard coolers, no liquor. Do not feed the animals or birds.
· No tents or large umbrellas are allowed. A small umbrella attached directly to the easel is permitted.
· Guild members will be invited to show and sell their work for an extended period once a year and will be given more details closer to that time.
· Artists also may have their own booth at the spring Art Show and sell their work there.
· Artists may not sell any work while on Brookgreen Gardens property (other than during the specified exhibit period). If visitors are interested in purchasing an artist’s work, the artist may give them a business card and/or personal contact information; but they must conclude their business off property.
· Art instructors may bring their classes to Brookgreen but are asked not to cluster in one location and to paint outside the walls of the interior Gardens. Class participants will pay $10 per person for the one day of their class.
· Please don’t leave your site unless you have someone to watch it while you are gone.
· When you leave for the day, be sure to check your work area and take all your supplies with you, leaving the area completely clean.
