WHC2005 ART SHOW RULES

  1. Participating in the Art Show does not grant artists entry into The World Horror Convention 2005. Artists who wish to attend the convention must purchase a Membership.
  2. Mail-in art will not be accepted at the World Horror Convention 2005. You or your Agent must deliver, hang, and remove your artwork. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS - please don't ask.
  3. The World Horror Convention 2005 is a convention geared toward a dark aesthetic and, obviously, horror theme. Artwork shown in the art show should reflect that aesthetic.
  4. There is a $20 hanging fee per panel. Panels are 4 foot by 4 foot medium brown pegboard. Limit 3 panels per artist; this limit may be removed as the convention draws near.
  5. There is a $20 fee per table [for sculptural / 3D work], and $10 for half tables. Table size is 6 feet long by 2 feet. Limit 1 table per artist; this limit may be removed as the convention draws near.
  6. If the above specs cannot accomodate your work, please get in touch in advance to make special arrangements.
  7. There will be a 12% commission collected for all art sold through the The World Horror Convention 2005 Art Show.
  8. You are not required to offer your work for sale (except for work placed in the Print Shop). Any or all of your artwork may be marked "NFS" (Not For Sale).
  9. Space will be portioned out on a first-come, first-served basis.
  10. Artwork must be presented in a professional manner. Flat work should be matted, framed or both. We will provide low-tack artist tape with which to attach bid sheets to each piece. Your work will be hung from pegboard hooks; please be sure that your work has a means by which it may be hung PRIOR TO BRINGING IT TO THE SHOW.
  11. Artwork must be original work or limited-edition prints. Artwork that violates copyright laws, trademarks or other intellectual property rights will not be permitted to hang.
  12. All artwork should have artist's name, title and contact information somewhere on the back, independent of any WHC labeling. If an artist fails to properly label his/her work, The World Horror Convention 2005 cannot be held responsible should it become lost or improperly credited.
  13. Photography will be limited inside the Art Show Room. Artists will indicate on their Control Sheet whether or not they want to allow photography of or near their work.
  14. There will be no smoking in the Art Show Room. Food/Beverages will only be permitted during the reception.
  15. Blatantly pornographic or racist artwork will not be permitted to hang. You know the difference, and so do we. Behave.
  16. There will be a Print Shop for artists to sell prints of their work (25 prints maximum). The World Horror Convention 2005 will charge a 15% commission for prints sold through the print shop, and a $5.00 placement fee per artist. Please label your prints clearly on the back, including price. Failure to do so may result in incorrect accounting of your sales.
  17. Artwork will be sold via Silent Auction. Each piece will have a Bid Sheet. Attendees who wish to bid/purchase will log their bids on the Bid Sheet. The highest bidder at the close of the Art Show on Saturday night will be the winner and may purchase the artwork beginning at noon on Sunday until 3:00 p.m. Each Bid Sheet will have a QuickSale price (similar to eBay's "Buy It Now" system) which may be used if no bids have been placed and an attendee wants to secure the piece. However, artists are NOT required to include a QuickSale price, if they don't wish to.
  18. Payments for sales of artwork and prints will be mailed via check within 30 days after The World Horror Convention 2005.
  19. The World Horror Convention 2005 assumes NO LIABILITY FOR ARTWORK SHOWN. The World Horror Convention 2005 will take every possible precaution to protect each artist's work, but in the unlikely event of theft, damage, etc., by participating in the Art Show, you do so at your own risk.
