Here are some statistics:
Largest Single Sale: Mike Cannistraro for a $350 painting.
Highest $$ Sales: Charles Lang.
Highest Volume Sales: Elaine Snow. Elaine topped Charles by THREE purchases, which happened to be her hand-sewn "Feline Treat" bags of catnip. She sold THREE of them!
Highest Single Image/Piece Sales: Elaine Snow for "Hey, Anyone Seen Spot?" artcards.
The winner of the Terror Fantasies T-Shirt Original Artwork is: DAN BROWNE!
We will be "debriefing" the 2008 Terror Fantasies soon and will apprise you all about our ideas for a Bigger and Better Terror Fantasies next year!

OPENING RECEPTION!
Friday was our Opening Reception. We kept a head count and we had OVER four HUNDRED people come through the doors!
A grand time was had by all and we had good sales too, though the Economy kept them lower than previous years. NOT a bad thing, though! ALL is GOOD!

After all the Sturm unt Drang of the last month leading up to this exhibit--we are HAPPY! And we will try to keep everyone involved happy!

NEW DETAILS!
Two new things to add to the details of the show:
1. The Pick-Up is ONLY ON SATURDAY, as we HAVE to have EVERYTHING cleared out by 4pm on Saturday. So, NO SUNDAY HOURS for Pick-Up.
2. Exhibitors are REQUIRED to volunteer to gallery sit for 4 four-hour shifts during the times of the exhibit.
I know this sounds like a hard thing to qualify for, as we have jobs and lives, but we are ENTIRELY VOLUNTEER and need help in all aspects for carrying out this show. Given good art, good pricing, a great space and the proper alignment of the planets, we can ALL make some $$$ out of this show! We always have in the past, even when we had the show for only ONE DAY at one of the artist's homes!

IMPORTANT NEW INFO!
The Salem Arts Association and we had a meeting tonight to hammer down more details of how Terror Fantasies will run this year.
LISTEN UP!
We have limited space: 24 4'x8' panels are available for "rent." VERY limited pedestal space is available for 3-D work.
Artists will be hand-picked and invited, and a Call will go out to fill the rest of the available space. This show will be run similarly to a science fiction convention-run art show. Artists will responsible for drop-off and set-up of their own panel, and pick-up is a VERY specific time! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
Here's the schedule so far:
Submission jpegs deadline: September 19. Notification if you are accepted: September 26.
Set-up: October 6, 7, 8. YOU are responsible for bringing and hanging your own work. If you need help, please ask ahead. And we may be "nosey" as you are hanging and make suggestions! We've been doing this for over 30 years, so...
Pick-up: November 1, 10 to 2. November 2, 2-6. IF YOU DON'T PICK-UP YOUR WORK ON EITHER OF THOSE DATES, WE CAN'T GUARANTEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR WORK!
Works must ALL be For Sale--NO exceptions! If you really don't want to sell a piece but feel compelled to show it, put a REALLY, OUTRAGEOUSLY HIGH price on it, but please be advised that we carry insurance against catastrophic loss only (NOT theft!) and only up to $1000. The rest is for your own home-owners insurance to cover, so check into that. Liability lies with the Artist, not the Salem Arts Association or the Art Corner, the two sponsers of the event.
Works must be Ready To Hang on conventional hanging systems, like hooks and nails, thumb tacks and pins. Properly framed would be a plus, too! If we have, for any reason, difficulty with the "presentation" of the pieces, such as a frame falling apart, the plexi is scratched beyond the proper viewing of the piece, the piece is rippled and wrinkled beyond repair beneath the glass, the matt is shredded on the edges (unless you INTEND it to be that way!) we will REJECT IT! We're not picking on YOU! If you want your work to be taken seriously and to SELL, it NEEDS to be presented properly!
Print bins: we will have print bins available for displaying your prints and we hope you bring MANY! The tourists are WAY more likely to spend $20 on a print than $200 on an original and you can make a pretty penny on those kind of sales. BUT (again!) we will have a limited number of those available and if you have your own, BRING IT!
NUTS AND BOLTS: Here's the part you're waiting for: HOW MUCH WILL IT COST? There is NO entry fee. The SAA and the Art Corner take a 40% commission on all sales for NON-SAA members, a 30% commission on all SAA MEMBER sales. (It only costs $25 to join! Go to www.salemartsassociation.org!) PLUS! You MUST bring and hang your own work. You MUST fill out the proper forms (coming soon!) and you MUST PICK-UP your work November 1 or 2!! Again, NO EXCEPTIONS!!
The Opening Reception: Friday, October 10, 7-9pm. Bring food. Bring wine. Have fun. WORK THE ROOM (make sales!)
MORE TO COME!

Update
Hi!
I haven't posted anything here for a while, because our store, the Art Corner, burned down a month ago, so we've been a LITTLE busy! We are good to go for the Terror Fantasies show this October, but we may be a little slow in replying to artists who are interested in showing.
Just a head's up.

WELCOME!
Terror Fantasies is the premier horror and fantasy art show in the Halloween capital of the world, Salem, MA!
The dates will be October 1-31, 2008, and will take place at Salem's Old Town Hall. Featured artists will be Charles Lang, Wendy Snow-Lang, Nick Demakes, Kathleen Ward, Scott Lanes, and others.
Artists interested in participating please email artcornersalem@verizon.net. We will be reviewing portfolios until the end of August, but space is limited. There are no entry fees, but a 40% commission will be taken from each sale. Massachusetts sales tax will also be charged on each transaction.
Besides full-sized original artwork, prints and postcards are encouraged. The tourists like small, inexpensive pieces that they can carry home with them. We also ship artwork for a nominal fee.
An artists' reception will be held Friday, October 10, from 6-9pm at Old Town Hall, the location of the exhibit.
The show will be held in conjunction with the Salem Arts Association, who is providing the space.
More to come as the plans are solidfied. So far all is tentative until I add more to this blog.
