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!
