Update: The November show at Gallery 92 has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
Omaha Artists, Inc. Fall Art Show
November 2020
Theme "Shadows" at Galley 92 Art Center Fremont, NE
We will begin registration on Sunday, November 1. To prevent everyone showing up at the same time, we will assign you a time slot according to the first letter of your last name. We may divide into 4 groups, and have 1/2 register on Nov. 1, and the other 1/2 on Nov. 2. The logistics will be in the next newsletter. This will be a judged show, but we are not sure yet if we will be able to have a reception due to COVID restrictions and safeguards. Take down will be on Sunday November 29.
Things to remember:
• You can only enter up to 3 pieces, depending on size. (See size restrictions below)
• You cannot enter any art that you have already entered in another OAI art show.
• All pieces must have a wire hanger on the back.
• All artwork must have been completed within the last 2 years.
Fee to enter - $15, whether you enter 1, 2 or 3 pieces. Remember to price your pieces accordingly, remembering that Galley 92 takes 25% of the value.
Image Size Guidelines
We will be enforcing size guidelines, in order to give the shows a better look, and to avoid overcrowding. These sizes refer to the OUTSIDE EDGES OF THE FRAME:
3 pieces allowed 11 x 14 or smaller, (area of 154 square inches or smaller), each piece. Square inches are measured by multiplying the length by the width of the outside edge of the frame.
2 pieces allowed at 24 x 30 or smaller, (area of 720 square inches or smaller).
1 piece allowed larger than 24 x 30, with maximum size of 40 x 40, (1600 square inches).
Or you can figure out sizes this way:
Sizes may be figured by adding two adjacent sides, so smallest no bigger than 25 (11+14, or 12+12 etc.), middle size 54, (24+30, or 26+28, etc.)), and largest – when two sides added together are greater than 54 but not larger than 80 total.
2021 Art Shows - None have been scheduled yet. I have looked into the Jewish community Center, and also Hot shops Art Center. I'm waiting to hear back from them. If you have any ideas for new art show venues, please contact me.

Summer Art Show is Canceled
Sharon Clawson has announced the Lauritzen Gardens Art Show is canceled, since the gallery space is still not open to the public, and won’t be for some time yet. We are sorry that our shows have not happened yet this year. Hopefully you are still creating, because this virus can’t last forever!
Fall Art Show
The Fall Art Show is scheduled to be held at Gallery 92 in Fremont. They do not know how things will be by then, but that is the plan.
Dates would be:
Registration: Sunday, Nov. 1, 2-4pm
Reception: Friday, Nov. 6, 5 - 7 pm
Take Down: Sunday, Nov. 29, 2-4 pm
Theme: " Shadows"

Summer Omaha Artists,Inc. Art Show "The Art of Nature"
- Lauritzen Botanical Gardens
- Registration: Wednesday, July 29, 11-1 pm
- Reception: Sunday, August 2, 2-4 pm
- Take Down: Sunday, September 20, 2-4pm
Lauritzen Gardens is opening on June 1 to "walk through the grounds only" – no indoor stuff. I am waiting to hear from Jennifer Evans, who is in charge of art shows to find out if they have any idea for when art shows might be able to go up inside. They may not know yet, and may decide late in the month of June.
So for now – I don't know if we will be able to hang our show at Lauritzen or not. At any rate – I will send out a notice in early July to let you know the status of it – whether yes or no, and if yes, then how we might do the registration to keep people at a distance.
In the meantime, keep painting! This show at the Gardens needs to have nature as its focus, in some way, shape or form. And there are so many subjects right now to paint – so many flowers and green landscapes!
If things return to normal, the next show after that would be in October in Fremont at Gallery 92, with the theme that would have been for our cancelled Spring Show at Hot Shops, which was "Shadows".

Hello you wonderful people. I miss you all.
Summer Omaha Artists, Inc. Art Show "The Art of Nature"
Location: Lauritzen Botanical Gardens
Registration: Wednesday, July 29, 11-1 pm
Reception: Sunday, August 2, 2-4 pm
Take Down: Sunday, September 20, 2-4pm
This show will take place IF Lauritzen Gardens actually opens before then. And if we do have the show, we will most likely have many new precautions in place to make sure we all stay safe from this crazy virus. All of this will be worked out with Lauritzen, our Art Show committee, and our presiding officers. Watch for an upcoming email in June to let you know how the art show will work, as far as taking in paintings, registrations , etc.
In the meantime, keep painting!
This show at the Gardens needs to have nature as its focus, in some way or shape.

Please stay tuned - at this point everything is up in the air. But keep creating - that's what artists do!

Juror’s notes: (Hal Holoun's critique of our show at the Jewish Community Center)
In this exhibition, I enjoyed the diverse approaches in the artists’ works, including the various art mediums as well as the many different approaches and statements in their art.
In judging an exhibition, I do my best to be objective (though this is probably not humanly possible) and try not to seek out works or mediums that I "like," or styles of art that I prefer to view. This exhibit was "open" in that it didn't break down the entries into distinct categories. I think this was a good idea since, as one views the exhibit, there are works that blur the line between distinct categories. This also encourages artists to "think outside the box" and perhaps experiment with new approaches that might lead to new discoveries of self-expression.

Fall Art Show
Gallery 92 – 92 West 6th St., Fremont, NE
Registration: Monday, Oct. 1, 11-1 pm
Reception: Friday, Oct. 5, 5-7 pm
Take Down: Monday, Oct. 29, 11-1 pm
Please refer to Standards for Exhibiting Artwork for all of the art show requirements.
Four often overlooked errors for artists are:
- A wire hanger must be on the back of your 2-dimensional art piece.
- For a non-framed canvas, the edges must be painted with no staples showing.
- The artwork must have never been entered in any of our previous shows. The art must be recent, created within the last 2 years.
Please do not pick up artwork before the take down date. Contact me for special arrangements. The show looks best as a cohesive unit with no open spaces.
There is No Theme. There is a $15 entry fee for up to 3 entries, depending on size. Gallery 92 will take a 30% commission on anything that sells, so price accordingly.
Size restrictions apply – measuring from the outside of the frame:
- You may enter 3 pieces if each piece is 11x14 or smaller.
- If one piece is larger than 11x14, then you can only enter 2 art works, and they cannot be larger than 30x30.
- Only 1 piece is allowed if it is larger than 30x30, with a maximum of 40x40.
- 3- dimensional pieces do not have size restrictions, but please call me if you need a pedestal.
Please fill out a registration form for each piece you want to enter. You can print them from this newsletter, and we will have extras for people who don’t have any forms. See forms at top of page 6.
