GUEST ARTISTS GUIDELINES
The
purpose of the Guest Artist program is to enable artists who do not
wish to become full member an opportunity to sell their work at the
Open Door Gallery.
-- No annual membership
dues are required. No shift work is required.
-- There is a $30 nonrefundable fee due when the work is
received. The Gallery receives a 30 % commission on all
sales.
-- The program runs for 3 month
intervals. To take full
advantage of this program, work should be delivered to the Gallery one
week before beginning date. Ideally,
the 3 month interval
would be as follows, ALTHOUGH an artist can begin the 3 months at any
time:
Spring- March, April, May
Summer- June, July, Aug.
Fall- Aug, Sept, Oct.
Christmas- Nov. Dec. Jan.
Artists may contract for multiple 3-month periods by contacting the
Gallery and by sending the payment of $30 per each 3 month interval.
-- If you have not displayed work with the Gallery before, the work
must be juried in through a web site presentation, member
recommendation, or by bringing in work to be viewed. The quality of the
work must be equal to that of the work currently shown at the
Gallery. The Gallery reserves the right to accept or reject
any work. Work requiring wall space for hanging is LIMITED TO
4 PIECES. The Gallery assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to
any work. See RELEASE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT FORM
-- Unsold work must be removed after the completion of the 3 month
contract. If work must be returned by mail, payment for
shipment must be made prior to the return of work. Unsold
work must be removed from the Gallery within one month of the
contracted 3 month period. Work not removed within this time
will become property of the Gallery. Of course, the Gallery
is willing to work with any artist with special circumstances.
-- Checks will be sent at regular Gallery intervals, once a month. If
the amount of sales requires I.R.S. notification, then a Social
Security number will be needed.
-- All work must be clearly labeled with the Gallery inventory system
and priced. This would be starting with “X” and
then your 3 name initials. Then each piece is
numbered. Example- Kate Ann
Benson= XKAB-01
-- Please complete the information form and include it with your
work. Release forms and inventory sheets are available at the
Gallery, attached to this message or may be mailed. If you have any
questions, please contact the Gallery or Sarah Kalasky at 269-651-1650
