New Policy:  Limited Edition Gicleé prints of original paintings by WCAC Member Artists may be displayed in designated Upstairs Gallery Bins. The Gicleés must be numbered (e.g., 2/25 = #2 of an edition of 25) and signed by the artist.

Only one print of each image may be displayed at a time. If prints are available in multiple sizes, only one print per size may be displayed, and each copy counts toward the total number of prints allowed.

A Maximum of six (6) different Gicleé prints may be displayed in the designated Gicleé bin
