Hi all,

RMC will be holding a member's work exhibition this fall. I'm doing
research into getting a catalog made and I have a few questions that I
figured you all might be able to help with.

  • Can anyone recommend a printer for getting catalogs made?
  • In your past shows, how many catalogs did you get printed vs. member
    count and how many sold?
  • Would anyone be willing to share a catalog layout file that our
    designer could work with? We have a volunteer putting the catalog together
    and I'd love to reduce the burden on them if possible.
  • Photography...We're planning on using artist-submitted photos but I
    know this can vary in quality. If you have any thoughts on this or advice,
    I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,
Holly
