• Photography of any type is not allowed in the Art Show.
• Children must be accompanied by a responsible parent or guardian.
• NO TOUCHING!! Look with your eyes, not your hands.

Bidding

• All bidders must register at the Art Show desk.
• Three (3) bids on a piece will send it to Auction. If there is a Quick Sale Price listed on the Bid sheet, the piece can be immediately purchased for that price, as long as no one else has bid on the item first. You must take the Bid sheet to the Art Show desk.
• If you are either the only bidder, or the second bidder and do not get outbid, the piece is yours. Please check with the Art Show Staff to pay for and pick up your art.

Entering the Art Show

• All pieces must be titled, matted, and/or framed. All art should be protected with shrink-wrap or equivalent. The Art Show will not be responsible for inadequately protected art.
• All pieces must have artists or agent's name and address clearly labeled on the back. We allow a maximum of 20 pieces per artist; any exceptions will be granted at the discretion of the Art Show Chairs.
• The Art Show will collect a 12% commission on all sales. "Not For Sale" (NFS) items will not be accepted into the Art Show.
• Adult oriented material will be hung so that young eyes cannot see it. The Art Show Chairs reserve the right to determine the suitability of any art submitted.
• Signed limited edition prints will be allowed in the Art Show with the following stipulations:
  1. Prints must be clearly labeled as "print" on the control sheet.
  2. All prints must have serial number and series (e.g. 12 of 40).
  3. Only one copy of a print series will be allowed. Please be advised that we do not run a print shop due to limited space.
• Artists/Agents will be responsible for hanging their own artwork on Friday and Saturday. If we find that space is in short supply and there is need to move art closer together, please be assured that we will treat your art with loving care. Control and bid sheets will be provided in the show, and are available in advance from the Art Show Chairs. (Also online. See below.)
• Only low wattage light displays will be allowed, and must be on an intermittent timer to prevent heat build-up.
• The Art Show does not sell panel space. Art is hung on a "first come" basis and the space is free. Our buyers come early, you should, too.

• Pickup of all work will be by noon Sunday. The Art Show closes at noon.
• The Art Show Chair will be the final authority on all matters pertaining to the Show and Auction.
