Will visitors be able to purchase work during the exhibit period at the Glengarry Pioneer Museum?

Yes of course! Sorry for the late reply, somehow my original from a week ago did not show.. tech glitches!

Last year I believe perspective clients had to wait until the end of the exhibition. You’re saying that it is different this year then?

Not really different, last year, if a client wanted to purchase and were from out of town, the Art piece was taken down – no issues. This year like last, this is of course possible, and like last year, we ask, if possible for the more local clients, to keep the piece on display until the end of the show (which only lasts a week).

I’m a photographer too so yes of course “prints” are our medium and I will fight for us!! ;-). The idea here was (if I understand correctly) to avoid the prints (copies) of paintings to be displayed for sale. Having said this, I agree that this will eventually turn into a much bigger grey area !
