Email Correspondence to Artists

In case emails are filtering to SPAM or missing you altogether, we’re posting the information here too. They’re listed in reverse order. Please add 97116artshow@gmail.com to your contact list to improve delivery.

Email #3

Hello, Artists!
Here we are, the last leg of the 4×400. Lots of information in this email, including your artist number assignment at the end.

Thank you to everyone who already sent prices, everyone else please send yours by tomorrow. Even if you haven’t finished the piece, it’s better for us to have the price and remove it later than to scramble during the flurry of sales opening night.

Your work doesn’t have to be newly made. We prefer new to the 97116 Art Show, but won’t be sticklers about that this year because it’s our anniversary! In other words, check out your art stock and give the info for 5 pieces that fit the size 🙂

Labels

You print your own – two copies for each piece. Put one label on the back of each piece, bring the other for us to use as a show card. They look best typed, but print legibly if handwriting. The files are attached to this email and available here: https://www.97116artshow.com/artist-guidelines/ The PDF should be fillable.

Letting us borrow something? Bring with your art.

If you’re lending grids, tables, drink dispensers, etc, we prefer you bring during art drop off. Make sure you’ve labeled them with your name! With grids, the easiest way is to put a tape flag at the bottom with your name in permanent marker. If you said you can bring it, do, we’ll store it if we get too many.

Drop off times as listed Nov 13-14, at 2038 Pacific Ave, Forest Grove
Sunday Nov 13, 12:30PM-5:30PM
Monday Nov 14, 10:00AM-1:00PM
Monday Nov 14, 4:00PM-8:45PM

PREPARING YOUR WORK TO HANG

Wiring canvas – Good video, though as a pro, I actually measure 1/3 down and make each eye screw level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBnqLeEiI2k

No Sawtooth hangers – However, as a compromise you can wire a loop on the sawtooth so we can hang it. Our S hooks can’t fit into sawtooth, so make sure it’s at least ½” loop opening and still do the bounce strength test listed at #3 here: https://www.97116artshow.com/artist-guidelines/

Sticky tabs – Are you just mat mounting your work and it’s lightweight? This is acceptable. Also okay for gessoed matboard. – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfeTrJh56A0

Doing fiber art? It’s okay to have a string holding it from above. Best to attach the string to both the left and right instead of center.

These are just a few ways, maybe you’ve come up with a creative solution. Most pieces will be hung on S-hooks, so let that guide you if you’re coming up with something novel. We will reject anything that pulls loose during setup.

Keep Spreading the Word

When you post your art, add #97116artshow and/or @97116artshow

See the ad come across your feed? Share that directly if you want.

Unsold Artwork Pickup

Sunday Nov 20 6:15-7:45PM (delayed if no one volunteers to help me gather the work first)

Monday Nov 21, 1:00-3:30PM

Monday Nov 21, 6:00-9:00PM

It’s okay to send a representative as long as they will confirm your payout method and sign that work is received.

Payouts

During unsold artwork pickup, you will specify which payout method from the following, and give your username. PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, or Check. Payments will come from Emily or my business Artingales, and should be completed by December 1st. If you choose to have a payment post mailed, factor extra time for USPS.

VOLUNTEERS

There are still some blank spots in our volunteer form responses, and Shiela has started sending messages to those who’ve already signed up. Please take a look at this form and sign up to offer time or lend whatever you can. There are plenty of opportunities to help out between November 13 and November 20. Recruit your friends, family, whomever. I’ll take a look at the artist registration form responses and see if we’ve missed anyone who said they can help and we’ll get back to you too!

A couple of request-to-borrow items we forgot to list:

Zip ties

Duct tape

1 black trash bag per a handful of people

Party time!

The opening reception is Friday Nov 18, 6:00-10:00PM.

Email #2

I’ve decided to compile emails each time I send them so you don’t have to dig through old emails. 

Registration extended to 11:59PM Sat Nov 5th, if you have friends that said they’re in the show but they’re not on the list linked here within 24 hours, they’re not in the show yet. They need to register here or reach out by 11PM 11/5 if they had trouble with the form.

DESPERATE FOR VOLUNTEERS & DISPLAY GRIDS

We’ve surpassed the 100 artists mark, so that means we’ll need a lot of volunteers and grids! Please take a look at this form and sign up to offer time or lend whatever you can. There are plenty of opportunities to help out between November 13 and November 20. Recruit your friends, family, whomever.

Venue

If you don’t already know, our show is in the old News Times building this year. It’s the corner of Ash and Pacific, 2038 Pacific Avenue

Are you a 3D artist? It’s important that we get an accurate feel for 3D work in time to rent a sufficient number of tables. Please let us know right away when you’ve settled on how many pieces you’ll bring.

Opening reception

The opening reception is Friday Nov 18, 6:00-10:00PM. We’ll have Ridgewalker Brewing & Vex Cocktails for alcoholic drinks, and plenty of non-alcoholic drinks for those that prefer hydration. We’ve arranged for a jam band to play, and food arrangements are still in progress.

Of note, we are a grab, pay, take show. That means people just take art right off the hook and pay for it. No holds, no presales, no not-for-sale work. If you have someone that wants work you’ve made for the show, don’t bring it. Just sell it and keep all of your $, you deserve it.

Pricing

Whole dollar increments only, from $1 to $150 on your 5 show pieces. If you’ve added up to 3 extra adult pieces, their price may be more than $150. More price points means better sales. However, if you sell more than $600  worth, your payout will be delayed so we can get your W9 for 1099 reasons.

Prices are due by Thursday Nov 10th, 11PM

Submit prices to 97116ArtShow@gmail.com. We’re building an electronic store for sales. 

By the way, it helps if you just email all of the prices at once so we can copy and paste under your name in one fell swoop. No need for size, title is good though. If you’re an “untitled” kind of person, use Untitled #1, Untitled #2, etc.

Unsold work pickup will be Sunday Nov 20th and Monday Nov 21st. Times will be determined once volunteer slots are filled, and there will definitely be evening hours available. You may send a representative if they’ll sign the return slip.

Marketing

Thank you to those that have been tagging @97116artshow on social media!

Posters and postcards should be hanging very soon, our printer had equipment failure and is in catch up mode, but they’ll probably be up right after the Great Flood of 2022. If you know you want to leave some postcards or a poster somewhere, let me know and I’ll make sure enough are printed.

Artist Guidelines

  1. Work must be displayed in any geometric format no larger than 12 x 12, even if framed. Squares, circles, rectangles, ovals, triangles, pentagons, whatever. Bragging points if you pull off pentagons for our 5th year.
  2. Max 3 lbs and 6 inch depth for each hanging work. Test your hung work to make sure the weight or depth does not cause it to face downward unless that’s your intention. It will still need to remain within its max 12 x 12 boundary.
  3. Delivered work must be ready to hang or display. (no taped on or stapled wire) Test wire strength by hanging the piece on your thumb and bouncing your hand a few times. Did it break loose from your frame or snap?
  4. 3D work limited to 12 x 12 x 12 and 10 lbs. Must be ready to display and not easily tipped.
  5. No reproductions. Original photography, printed graphic design, video stills, hand pulled printmaking, etc. qualify as original work the same as other traditional mediums.

If you’re not sure how work is supposed to be displayed, check out the Artist Resources.

Email an image of your work as soon as you can!
Images provided early may be placed in print advertising, those received later may only make it to web based publication if there is time to share. High quality for print, 300ppi and no larger than 3MB each. 97116artshow@gmail.com

You may change the specific quantity you registered for as long as you stay within the 5 total piece limit and dimensional guidelines.

Your very important artist number must be on all pieces. You will receive your artist number shortly after submissions close. Your sales will be processed through this number and each piece must have it on the back. You are welcome to let the labels serve the purpose on pieces large enough, otherwise add your number to a hang tag.

Labels (x 2)
You will also be emailed these Word and PDF documents for labels, and we need one label securely affixed to the back of your work and one duplicate set filled, cut, and provided at drop-off so we can use them as show cards. Just use your best handwriting if the fillable PDF fields don’t work for you. If your work is too small for affixing, securely tape it to a hang tag. If there is room, you may also secure a business card to the back or bottom of your work.

All work submitted must be for sale.

Prices are due by Thursday Nov 10th, 11PM

Submit prices to 97116ArtShow@gmail.com (3 @ $40, 1 @ $60, etc) We’re building an electronic store for sales. All pieces must be priced at $150 or less. More price points means better sales.

Drop off will be Sunday Nov 12th or Monday Nov 13th, and you can send a representative. Additional days will be added if we can get volunteers, and available time slots will be published as we get closer to the show.

Unsold work pickup will be Sunday Nov 20th or Monday Nov 21st. Times will be determined once volunteer slots are filled, and there will definitely be evening hours available. You may send a representative if they’ll sign the return slip.

If you indicated you might volunteer, watch your email for available tasks and times. Thank you!

Artist Resources

How do I properly wire a canvas?

You’ll have to click this picture to see the video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/1xqlzSXP59I?t=35

or

Some people use the great hack of gluing wire with E6000 when the back is an alternative surface. Another option when we’re accepting 3D work is to provide an easel (labeled with your name for return) and  we’ll display the piece on a table.

If you have another way that is secure and IS NOT any of the following: sawtooth hanger, keyhole, taped on, or weakly stapled, go for it.

How should 3D work be prepared?

3D work should be stable with wide enough footing that it isn’t easily tipped. It should stay within the dimensions listed in the Call for Submissions or Artist Guidelines. It’s also important to make sure the piece is not likely to unwittingly injure a person.

May I use a pseudonym?

Yes, you may. Register with your actual name because that’s how we pay you. Then feel free to email your pseudonym from the same address and we’ll list you in the exhibit that way. You’ll fill out your own show cards with the pseudonym.
