New artists and what sells

I get calls and emails frequently from new artists interested in exhibiting and participating in Terror Fantasies.

First and foremost--you MUST be able to Sit the Gallery for multiple four-hour shifts over the course of the month! The average number of shifts per the month is four, but it could be more. TF is an artist co-op and is run by the volunteers.

Second--we have NO IDEA where the exhibit will be from year to year.  We have had spaces that range from 700 square feet to 6000 (!) per year.  If we have 6000 like we had this year, obviously we can accomodate many more artists.  If we have 700, like we had a couple of years ago, we will have to restrict our artists to our TOP SELLERS.

Terror Fantasies is all about making MONEY!  Selling ART!

We always defer to our current artist list, and who is selling the most.  Why would you invest a $50 entry fee, plus 25% commission on sales, and at least 16 hours of your valueable time if you only sell a meagre amount?  Think about it.

We have and the Key is: HALLOWEEN!  Jack O' Lanterns, Black Cats, Ghosts, Witches.  Even ZOMBIES!
