Hanging the works
Hanging your art should take place on the last day of the month and is the responsibility of the artist. The exhibition rooms have a standard picture hanging system. Please note no nails or screws are permitted. We only exhibit works which hang on the walls. Please refrain from exhibiting erotic works as the rooms are used for children's activities. Removing of the work should take place on the last day of the month.



There are hanging supplies (strings and hooks) in a box labeled Art At The Club in the silver aluminum cabinet across from the elevator.  It is recommended to view the hanging system before arrival.  Some artists find that bringing their own vinyl hanging cables is more efficient. Hanging cables can be purchased at Micasa.ch or at Boesner.ch. These are the recommended hanging systems.

The artists is responsible for insuring his or her work.

The Opening
The artists should e-mail their opening dates and time requests for their vernissages as soon as possible to: Scheduler@awczurich.org.  We recommend the 1st Saturday of the month as the AWC library is also open and more members are likely to attend. This is optional and should be requested upon booking your show.

The Finissage
The Finissage is planned on the 3rd Sunday of each month from 13-16hrs.

All catering arrangements and cost for the Opening and the Finissage is the responsibility of the artist. The artists is responsible for leaving the space as it was found, including all areas used (i.e. the kitchen, bathrooms, child care, etc.).
