adopted such recommendation and directed the Commission to work with Organization to

DISPLAY INFORMATION:
Initial Point Gallery is equipped with a track system for hanging two-dimensional artwork. Two-dimensional artwork
will be hung from cables, using hooks, and therefore must be equipped with two D rings (fig. 1) on the side rails on the
back of the frame (fig. 2). The inside of each D ring must allow a space of at least one-quarter inch (1/a") for insertion
of the hooks; any wire constricting this space must be removed. The D rings should be approximately a quarter of the
distance of the total frame height from the top of the frame in order to avoid slanting away from the wall. Wires,
eyehooks, and clip frames may not be used for hanging. Initial Point Gallery also provides four display cases, each with
different dimensions (fig. 3), for displaying three-dimensional artwork.

RE: LETTER OF INTENT-NAMPA ART GUILD
Vision
As an extension of Nampa Art Guild's desire to advance the visual arts, we would bring to Treasure
Valley residents the unique perspectives of many individuals working in varied mediums. Viewing these
works would encourage upcoming artists to explore and pursue their own interests as well as inspire the
creativity of our fellow artists. For everyone who visits, we propose to offer the pleasure and
enrichment of colors, shapes, and enhanced emotions —the joy of viewing fine works of local artists.
Pieces
We plan to submit approximately 40 pieces of two-dimensional artwork of varied sizes, ranging mostly
from 16x20 to 22x28, with a few smaller. The exact number and sizes of each will be submitted to the
Gallery at an appropriate time prior to hanging. Our submissions will include watercolor, acrylic, oil,
pastel, ink and graphite.
Publici
Our publicity chairperson, Judy Stanfill, will submit articles and announcements to the Idaho Press
Tribune and The Idaho Statesman. We will also advertise on our Website, httn://nami)aartguild.org.
In addition, we plan to hold an opening show event with appropriate brochures, snacks, etc., as a
chance for the viewing public to meet the artists.
Atypical Issues or Challenges
None
Enclosures
Enclosed is a check from the Nampa Art Guild in the amount of $35.00. We are also sending an Email to
