Stuff you need to know about the show

To enter the Art Show you need to send in an Art Show Reservation Form. Art Show space is available in units of panels or half tables. A panel is 3' wide by 4' high, and is made of pegboard. Materials for hanging artwork will be provided by the convention. Table space is approximately 3' long by 2.5' deep, half a standard hotel table. Each unit of Art Show space is $7.50. Requests for more than 4 units of space must be cleared with the Art Show Directors in advance.

Reproductions are allowed, but only one of any particular piece may be hung. There is no formal print shop.

Works judged by the Art Show Staff to have pornographic and/or libelous content in regard to known persons and/or to well known characters will not be accepted. In addition, any copyright issues with well known characters, fictional or not is the responsibility of the artist, not the convention. The decisions of the art show dictators directors in these matters are final.

All artwork must be able to withstand reasonable, careful handling by the Art Show Staff. We want your work to go home with the buyer in perfect condition. Please help us by not sending fragile artwork! If you do send fragile work, then please observe the shipper packing guidelines, and use lots of bubble wrap. Biodegradable packing peanuts are infinitely preferable to the plastic staticclingy type. Better yet bring it in person!!

Two-dimensional works must be matted, mounted or framed to aid in hanging. Stick-on plastic hangars on unmatted work are not acceptable.

Jewelry should be displayed in the artist's own display case, and the case placed on a table. Enough table space must be purchased to hold the display case. If you have a lockable case, please give one set of keys to the artshow directors, so that we can get to pieces for sales, auction etc.

All artwork must be clearly labeled. Please include the title of the piece, your name and address.

Artists are responsible for their own insurance. Check your homeowner's policy; you may have appropriate coverage there. We will take reasonable care of your artwork in the show, but the convention can not acquire the expensive extra insurance for the Art Show.

Once entered in the show, the conditions of sale (minimum bid, not-for-sale, etc.) may not be changed.

Pieces that receive 3 or more written bids will be sent to the voice auction on Sunday at Noon.

There will be no photography or video recording of any kind in the Art Show unless cleared by the Art Show Directors in advance. The artist or agent must be present and consent to any photography or recording.

The judgment of the Art Show Staff and Directors (see departments page for email address) in all matters of the Art Show is final.
