There is a lending library of instructional DVDs that are available for loan at the meetings. Members usually donate $5 to use the DVD. Two dollars are returned to the member when the video is returned.  The funds are then used to purchase additional DVDs for the Library. Members can contact the Coordinator ( currently Julie Wehr) via a button on the library page to arrange for pick and delivery of DVDs . Members can submit requests for new instructional DVD's to the coordinator. 

 

Members have the opportunity to sign up to exhibit their work at several display venues which are posted on the home page. Construction has limited some  display venues but the coordinators are regularly in contact with the operators so that we may resume exhibiting art when it is agreeable to do so. Postings for artists needed to display work are found under the "Display Venue Information" page on the website https://www.parklandartleague.com/new-pagedispaly-venue-information . There is a schedule with open dates in red and a button for you to email the coordinator for the site your interested in with a request to display your work.

There is a 10% commission on all works sold on the website or at display venues* to defray costs associated with insurance and the website. * At Stony Run venue the commission is 20% with 15% going to the club and 5% to the venue.
