About the Program
The Art Around Town Program
connects members of the Petaluma Arts Council who are visual artists with appropriate businesses in the community interested in displaying artwork. One of our current venues is Petaluma Valley Hospital. We change the artwork every three months, hanging about sixty pieces each time. It is the intent of the Art Around Town committee to get the work of as many PAC members as possible out into the public. We usually rotate artwork in the venues throughout the year.

Artist Registry
The Art Around Town committee keeps an ongoing registry of the artists interested in participating in the program.
The registry consists of a three-ring binder filled with 8.5 x 11 pages. Each artist is provided with one page to showcase their work. If you would like to exhibit your art in a Petaluma community space, you need to have a good presentation of your current work in the Artist Registry.

What should you send?
There are two ways to be included in the registry:

  • You may design your own 8.5 x 11 page, paying careful attention to the guidelines below. Pages with missing or incomplete information will not be included in the registry. We recommend that you include no more than 6 images on your page.
    OR
  • Send up to 6 photos or slides and the registry coordinator will make a page for you. We recommend that you select images that are representative of your current work. Please include a SASE so that we may return your photos or slides to you, and remember to label all images with the title, size and medium.

What information needs to be included?

  • your name, phone number, email address and website address if you have one.
  • Every image of your work needs to include the title, size and medium. This is important.

Artist must be a member of the Petaluma Arts Council to be in the registry.
There is no cost for entering the registry.
All sales transactions will be strictly between the artist and the buyer.
In lieu of commission, a 15% tax deductible donation to PAC is requested.
All work will be exhibited at the discretion of the business owner.
Keep your information current, update as often as you like.
