ONLINE AND PRINT CATALOGS
23 Sandy Gallery and the Northwest Chapter of the Guild of
Book Workers will co-publish a complete online catalog plus a full-color print
catalog illustrating this exhibition. Entering this exhibition constitutes
agreement that images may be used for publicity purposes.
MARKETING
Postcards, print catalogs, and an online catalog will all be
part of a marketing campaign designed to sell works included in this show to
the Gallery's university and museum library customers, as well as to regular
customers of the Gallery. We will work hard to find good homes for all works
included in this show. Works may also be submitted as not for sale.
DISPLAY OF BOOKS
We feel very strongly that books need to be handled to be
fully appreciated. Handi-Wipes are provided for gallery customers along with a
friendly word about proper book handling. However, if your book is delicate and
you would prefer it not be handled, please let us know and we will be happy to
put a "do not touch" sign on it. If your book is an edition you are
welcome to send a display copy.
SIZE LIMITATIONS
All works are limited to 24 inches in any direction when
displayed. One exception to this rule is long accordion books, which may extend
out longer. Accordions allow us to shorten up the display width without losing
the impact of the book.
FRAMING
Wall-hung work can either be hung framed or unframed
attached with magnets. If you are shipping framed work we recommend you ship
the work with acrylic instead of glass.
SUBMISSIONS
A maximum of two works may be submitted per Member.
Submissions must be received online no later than midnight (PST) on AUGUST 1,
2014. All Members submitting to this exhibition will be notified via email. We
reserve the right to decline any accepted artwork upon delivery if the
condition or quality is other than represented in the electronic form.
ONLINE SUBMISSIONS
Our online submission form can be found at the bottom of
this page. All submissions will be made online.
FEES
This entry fee covers Guild-related exhibition expenses and
provides the means to produce the on-line and print catalogs. A $25
non-refundable submission fee covers up to two works and is payable upon
submission. Just to clarify, the fee covers one or both works, it is not a per
work fee.
SALES
For this exhibition, works can either be for sale or not.
All works offered for sale will be placed on consignment. The Gallery keeps 40%
of the sale price. The Member receives 60% of the sale price. If your work is
not for sale, we'll ask you to provide an insurance value on the submission
form. Sales sometimes happen after the exhibition. If a request to purchase a
work comes directly to the Gallery after the artwork is returned to the member,
the gallery works with the member and client to facilitate the sale. The terms
of the consignment agreement herein are extended to govern such a situation.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR WORK
You may submit up to four photographs for each piece you are
submitting for this show. Remember, your photographs will be used in a
high-quality, printed catalog, so make sure they are high quality photographs. The
23 Sandy Blog features several articles about photographing your work.
PREPARING YOUR IMAGES FOR SUBMISSION
You may upload up to four views each of your works
submitted. Some key points to remember:
• Name your files as yourlastname-1-a.jpg, yourlastname-1-b.jpg,
yourlastname-1-c.jpg, yourlastname-2-a.jpg, etc. Your last name is followed by
a HYPHEN and then the artwork number, which corresponds with the submission
number on the online submission form. Another HYPHEN and then the a, b, or c
letter are the additional views of that work. Like this: yourlastname-1-a.jpg
• All JPGs must be 300 ppi, sized to 7 inches (or 2100
pixels) wide or tall in the longest direction.
• Composite images are not acceptable. One view per image
submitted only.
• Black backgrounds on your photographs are not acceptable.
Please shoot your photos on a neutral gray or white background. This allows us
to present a cohesive printed catalog. (Black backgrounds are also bad because
books lose shadow, dimension and scale on black backgrounds.)
SHIPPING
All artwork in this show will ship to 23 Sandy Gallery. All
shipping and shipping insurance costs to and from the Gallery are the
responsibility of the member. Complete instructions will be provided
RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE
The Gallery is insured and shall be responsible for the
safekeeping of all consigned artwork while in the Gallery’s possession. The
Gallery shall be strictly liable to the Member for loss or damage (except for
loss due to earthquake, flood or damage resulting from flaws inherent in the
artwork), to the full value member would have received from the Gallery if the
artwork had been sold.
