Payments will come from Emily and will be paid out by the third Friday in December. If you choose to have a payment post mailed, factor extra time for USPS.
We will need a lot of volunteer support to pull this off if you can help.
If you’re not sure how work is supposed to be displayed, check out the Artist Resources.
Poster consideration and Marketing!
If you already registered and have images of work that will be in the show and want to be considered for the poster, email them by Oct 25th to 97116artshow@gmail.com. For social media marketing @97116artshow in your Instagram posts, and add us as a collaborator.
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. Artist numbers won’t be assigned until after November 1st, after registration closes.
Labels (x 2 this year PLUS Fill out the Spreadsheet )
You will need your assigned artist number for your labels. We need one paper label securely affixed to the back or bottom of your work, and a full set filled, cut, and provided at drop-off so we can use them as show cards. You will also be emailed these Word and PDF documents for labels. 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. Bin work needs labels too, but cards may have a sticker with artist name, artist number, and price. If there is room, you may also secure a business card to the back or bottom of your work.
You cannot fill out the inventory sheet until you’ve been assigned an artist number, after November 1st, then complete this Google Form with all information in order for your work to be available for sale and insured while on display. Bin work and cards also need to be entered but if they are the same price you can do one form for bin work and one form for all cards.
Right to Refuse: 97116 Art Show and its volunteers reserve the right to refuse work that is not ready to display or does not meet size requirements. We also reserve the right to determine work is not suitable for general audiences.
LIABILITY: All possible care will be taken with your work while installing the show. However,
97116 Art Show and its volunteers will assume no liability for damage or loss. By delivering your work, you acknowledge agreement to this and the following Pacific University policy.
Pacific University’s insurance policy covers the Works while on campus for display in the Cawein Gallery. In order to guarantee coverage, exhibitors must supply value information for the Works submitted, regardless of whether or not the art is offered for sale. Exhibitor bears the risk of damage to or loss of the Works until the Works have been delivered to, mounted and accepted by Pacific University. Pacific University accepts responsibility for the Works after they are mounted and accepted by the University.
If you indicated you might volunteer during registration, we will send our Sign Up Genius for available tasks and times when it’s ready. Thank you!

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 or pedestal.
Newer option – It’s okay to have work that is not wired IF IT’S LIGHTWEIGHT and can be hung securely by resting on tacks.
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. *It is okay to bring work in mat, it must have an adhesive hang tab with a hole in it. Only matted without frame work may be hung with these tabs since that work is lightweight and shallow. This year you may also use Command strips if your work is flat enough to contact the wall along the entire surface of the strip. You must supply the full set attached and ready to go with only the wall-side needing to be peeled.
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.

Yes, you may. You’ll fill out your own show cards with the pseudonym, and our payout inventory form will ask for legal payout methods.
