ARTIST’S SPACE AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
- Artists may choose either a 12 ft. grid booth space (2x8x2) or an 8 ft. rectangular table (8x2.5).
- Only one spot will be allowed per artist, although two artists may share one space. Each participant MUST be a member of WCAS before submitting an application.
- If you are using a grid space you MUST bring black backing material. If you are using a table, you MUST bring a solid colour table covering.
- For those using a table, please note that the maximum height for displays 3 ft. above the tabletop, and is intended to avoid one display visually blocking another.
- The hall is well lit. It is not necessary to bring additional lighting, however, we would ask that each artist bring some sort of festive decoration for their space.
- *NEW FOR 2020: The 20/20 Rule. Only 20% of the artist’s space can be priced below $20. Cards are accepted in addition to the regular items. Any small items
must be submitted and accepted by the committee in addition to their regular items. Small bags from vendors for small items are not allowed, except for small
clear Ziplock baggies for jewelry (one item per bag) or sleeves for cards. - All artists MUST remain on site for the duration of the show, as you are the best promoter of your work. If you need to leave for a short break, please
ensure that someone is looking after your space. - Each artist will be expected to volunteer for various tasks, including sitting a few shifts at the sales desk.
- The success of the show depends on the efforts of everyone. Artists will be asked to pick up a welcome package, to distribute some flyers and postcards, placing signage, and to share show information on social media.
- All displays must be sturdy enough to withstand reasonable wear and tear during the Sale. In the event that a product or display is causing difficulty, the Show Organizer may, after consultation with the Show Committee, request that the owner fix or remove the problem.
- The West Carleton Arts Society is not responsible for the loss or breakage of any artwork at the sale. We recommend that artists insure their work.
- Given the highly variable nature of artwork, the Show Committee may, as necessary, and upon application from an artist, make changes or exceptions to the above rules. Exceptions will be one-time only, and will not be considered as setting precedents for future shows.
- Due to the family-oriented nature of the visitors to WCAS shows, the Show Committee, reserves the right to ask artists to remove work which it deems to be offensive to the audience.
- The catchment area for exhibiting artist will be 100 km from Carp.
