Simply REGISTER HERE and bring your art in!
See the link above for all details.

Three art drop off days:
Friday, February 20, 2pm–6pm
Saturday and Sunday, February 21 and 22, 2pm–4pm

General guidelines:
• One artwork per artist. A diptych or small set with one title may also be ok (contact if something unusual).
• Choose work likely to attract bidders for long-term display in a private home (contact if unsure).
• Consider work with retail value from $150 to $2000. Think substantial yet accessible.

• Artists can retain up to 50% of final sale price.
• Artists can specify opening bids—but no more than 50% of retail with 25% to 35% recommended.

Artwork must be ready to hang or otherwise display (with hanging wire, framed if appropriate to media, stable sculpture, etc). We reserve the right to turn down work that is unstable, overly complicated to install, or otherwise impractical for home display. Contact us if you are considering a work that is challenging in size, materials, or subject matter.
