Unsold Artwork Pickup – if roads get icy, I’ll cancel for safety

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 / address. PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, or Check. Payments will come from Emily, and should be completed by December 1st. If you choose to have a payment post mailed, factor extra time for USPS.
If you’re still working on this part… PREPARING YOUR WORK TO HANG
No taping on wire, not even with duct or gorilla tape. E-6000 with 24 hours to cure is an option though. Just make a large enough puddle that covers the wire and plenty of the frame surface.
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/
No Keyholes – Our S-hooks need a long length of recess, if your work only has a keyhole either add hanging hardware or bring an easel (marked with your name) for us to set it up on the 3D table
Doing hanging 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.
Help!
We are desperate for volunteers to help with pre-show setup, if a task you could do is listed but at a time that doesn’t work, please email with alternates and I’ll see what I can do. Maybe ask someone you know to volunteer, thanks for doing that Loni! • New tasks have been added for preparation and reception. Volunteer sign ups through SignUp Genius
