V. Maintenance of Show Standards and Member Conduct

 

A. The Coronado Art Association expects high standards from its members in order to establish a reputation for

artistic and craftsman-like quality. We specifically wish to avoid the “swap meet” label. We expect courteous and

respectful treatment from each of our members in dealing with the public and in the member’s working relationships

with the board and fellow members.

​

To this end:

 

Exhibitors and members are encouraged to maintain high standards of work, appearance, conduct, and cooperation.

The foregoing regulations have been established for the common good. Failure to comply will jeopardize a member’s

standing and can result in immediate expulsion as deemed by the Board.

​

All bare boxes and packing material, etc., must be covered or removed from the display location.

​

There will be a monthly screen of exhibits in order to maintain the standard of work being shown and to discover and

correct deviations from the rules. When work quality falls below the standards expected, individual re-jurying may be

required. The Board reserves the right to see original work or preparatory materials when reproductions are

displayed.

​

The exhibit screenings will be conducted by the President or Chairman or his appointed representative (s).

​

Please consult the President, Art-In-The-Park Chairman, Marketing Director or one of the board members whenever

questions arise.
