Artistic Paper Work

Had a bunch of paper work sent to me from the Art Gallery of Saint Albert 2 days back. The envelope included a contract, insurance form, 2016 Exhibition Catalog and a "Exhibiting Artist Checklist" (for next years exhibition). I have dealt with contracts and insurance forms in past shows but the "Exhibiting Artist: To Do List" is new to me. An abbreviated form of the things I will need to do are (each item has a specific deadline):

- Sign and date 2 copies of Artist/Gallery Agreement.
- Provide the Gallery with 5 updated images.
- Email an updated CV and Artist Statement.
- Gallery may book a Studio visit.
- Artist delivers a mail list (up to 50 addresses) to the Gallery. The Gallery will mail invitations.
- Artist my request invitations for personal use.
- Insurance form must be filled in and delivered to the Gallery.
- Artist is invited to participate in a  media launch for the show with local media.
- Gallery will hold an opening reception and exhibition.
