Important: All artwork is available for purchase. This show is a "Buy It & Take It" show. Customers can purchase artwork and take it home immediately, instead of it remaining in the gallery for the duration of the exhibit.

Ingathering Information
We encourage submission of works that have not graced the walls of the Charles Lo Bue Gallery within the last 12 months.
For the benefit of all artists represented, artwork that is accepted must remain at the Charles Lo Bue Gallery until the last day of the show, 4 p.m., unless the buyer is leaving town or the work is to be shipped. For a "Buy it and Take it" exhibit, customers purchasing artwork will be able to take the artwork once purchased, instead of artwork remaining in the gallery. This means, once artwork is purchased and removed, our Gallery Coordinator will be contacting the artist for a replacement piece to put in the gallery exhibit. Preferences will be for same size and theme of the exhibit.
Artists who remove artwork before the last day of the show without prior approval from the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center will be expected to pay the commission based on the price of submission and will be disqualified from all exhibits for 365 days. If artists do not honor this 40% commission, they will be disqualified from all future exhibits at the Charles Lo Bue Gallery
