Liability and Insurance
All reasonable care will be given to objects in the
exhibition. The art work will be in a secure area while on exhibit. The
insurance you purchase from the shipping service will cover the art work in
transit. Friends In Art is not responsible for deliberate theft or vandalism
of art or unclaimed art after the convention. Works not claimed prior to the
end of convention will be treated as gifts to Friends In Art.
Sales
Sales are encouraged. No commission will be charged by Friends
In Art. Friends In Art will not act as agent. All sales must be negotiated by
participants.
Agreement
Submission of an entry to this exhibition shall constitute
agreement with all conditions in this application. Friends In Art reserves
the right to reproduce works for publicity purposes only. Note: Works not
ready for exhibition or display-ready can be withheld from the exhibit. The
names of show participants may be published in "The Braille Forum"
and FIA's "Log of the Bridgetender."
There is a new category this year: jewelry! The other
categories are painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, sculpture, and fiber
art.
The exhibit will be in a more public area where it will have
more visibility. I hope that it will promote more sales for the artists. We
have not had an exhibit and art show for some time.
