SHOW YOUR ART—The Artists Gallery at 121 W. Grand Ave. in Escondido, owned and operated by the Escondido Art Association (EAA), now offers artists the opportunity to exhibit their artwork on rented wall space. Three sections, each measuring seven and a half feet wide by four feet tall, are available for rent on a monthly basis.

These three sections are located at the rear of the gallery and allow excellent display space for a solo exhibition and sale of multiple pieces of artwork. The rental period would correspond with the EAA-juried art show but would not be included in the monthly art show judging. EAA membership is not required.

To reserve your space or for more information, call the Artists Gallery at 760-489-0338 or visit the EAA website, escondidoartists.org.
