....here's the questions you posed and replies......

number and size of pieces -

we usually guarantee six to eight linear feet hung salon style (so we can double and triple stack) it really depends on the artists work.

if we like the work we make room, but we have also had to jury out a piece or two if we get a lot of work.
i'm thinking some of the members do not "get the concept" for this show so i am depending on guest artists this time around and my gut feeling is the more the merrier.

price range gallery prefers -

times is tough, lately we have sold work under the hundred dollar mark, prints go well, jewelry, small paintings, ceramics,etc (i would love to sell some of the munktiki mugs but do not know if they will deal or not) we have had artwork hang for two grand or up
before the economy crapped we sold at a median price of one-fifty to three hundred fifty bucks regularly.

does the gallery cover return shipping of artwork -

we encourage local work but have shipped back art from as far away as australia, when we opened half of our art was shipped back and forth but it really depends on the artist and the size and weight of the work. i got burned pretty bad once so am careful in regards to that.

is there a contract -

yes i will attach it as a simple text file and as just text,
hopefully it comes over in a format you can use.

is the art insured -

in certain situations up to the wholesale price. i have content insurance but depending on the situation would have to pay out of pocket. we have had one instance of minor (frame) damage in three years of operation.

when do you need the art by -

we would like it in house by tuesday september 1st.

schedule of the show (it's not posted on your site !!)

sorry, i am a ludite when dealing with computers and ed is supposed to be updating but has neglected it lately .
the show will run through september- we can keep up the work the weekend of october 3rd and 4th but would suggest picking it up if possible that weekend. we open our halloween show on october 9th and 10th

return of art cycle (how long after the show will it be returned) -

asap we have limited storage space.
again this is a case by case situation. being that we are only charging a twenty buck hang fee
i do not want to shoot myself in the foot by spending more to ship art back...

method/schedule of payment for sold works -

sales payable within 30 days of shows close, but usually sooner.

and any other things you feel would be necessary to add to this...

i think it is all covered.

thank you again,

dean

..I just want to add that if anyone wants a copy of the contract, email me or p.m. me your email address and i will send you one out via email.
