Artist Directory
The Artist Directory includes one sample from each artist who applied and their contact information: studio or gallery name, artist name, address, medium, phone, email, website, you will have the option of checking a box to not include your phone or email in the directory, but we will need both for contacting you. The directories will be available for pick up in October at the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum during their normal hours. Artists can pick up copies for distribution at the Museum Reception.
