A Definition of “Gallery Wrap”

Gallery wrap is a term referring to a style of stretching on artist’s canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides of the wooden frame (stretcher bars) and is secured to the back of the wooden frame. The result is the mechanisms used to secure the canvas ( staples or tacks) are not visible on the sides of the canvas. The sides are prepared and primed in the same manner the face of the canvas is prepared or primed. The sides may then be painted a solid color or painted to continue the image appearing on the face of the canvas. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frame less presentation of the finished painting.

Gallery Sitting: Please help us with sitting the gallery on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 PM.  This is so important for us to be open these days for the public to visit our shows and of course our "Members' Gallery."

Members Gallery: Bring your paintings in (no wider than 42") to be hung in the "Members Gallery." We have been successful in selling paintings from this area, but even if your work doesn't sell, it's a place to show your work. Visitors have often remarked about the work in this gallery, enjoying them sometimes more than the current show in the main galleries. And, we are proud to show off the work of our very talented members.
