Commitment: 16 Artists
Cost per Artist: $50 per month for three months = $150 upfront paid to WCAS (dependent on the number of artists we receive)
Commission: 10 % in total:
- 5% commission payable to Autumn’s Fine Flowers at the time of the sale that results from a viewing during the time your piece is hung at the facility. This fee will cover the costs incurred from using their cash system, personnel and wrapping materials to process sales.
- PLUS 5% commission paid to WCAS, on any sales that result from a viewing during the show, up to and including 60 days after the show.
Works of Art: All pieces must be ‘hang ready’.

There may be space for a few 3-D items to be placed on a small table or plinths but you may be asked to provide a display set up yourself. Artists will be expected to replace any items that have been sold with another suitable piece until the end of the show. If they cannot, another artist will be offered the spot.
