The Los Altos Art Club offers many ways for its members to showcase their art. Besides a personal gallery page on the club's website, there are various shows during the year. The club also works with various local sites (venues) where members display art and can offer it for sale. In addition, members can bring art to the monthly member meetings and enter it in the member competition. For details on these exhibiting opportunities, click one of the links below.

The Los Altos Art Club works with public business venues to provide display areas for the exhibit of members’ work on a scheduled basis. We are fortunate to include highly visible and professional locations. Work selection, framing, hanging, deadlines, transportation and publicity are a few of the tasks that many take for granted yet are fundamental activities for the working artist. This program allows participating artists to gain exposure and experience in the professional display of their artwork.

For sales that occur as a result of displaying art at any of our venues, 10% of any sale is the designated amount to be given to LAAC as a commission for use of the venue.

There is an art competition at each month's regular meeting where members can bring a work of art. Entry in the competition is voluntary. Members enjoy seeing each other's works and vote for their favorites. At year end, the artist with the most winning art pieces becomes the "artist of the year".
