MORE INFORMATION:
This two day sale will be held at Piedmont Art Center in the East Bay. Each artist will be responsible for set up and take down of their table, and for running their sales. GLANC is covering the rental of the facility for this event and there is no application fee, making this a very special opportunity for GLANC member artists. There is no upfront cost other than the $15 refundable deposit, so unlike other shows, there is no financial risk to participate!
At the close of the show, therewill be a very low 20% commission taken on sales - 10% goes to the Piedmont Art Center and 10% goes toward GLANC's Scholarship Fund. 80% goes to the artist!
MORE DETAILS
The space available to each artist will depend on how many participants we have in this show. Space will be divided equally amongst the artists. Once you receive the information regarding your allotted space, plan to bring a table and/or pedestals to showcase your artwork and you will need to process your own sales.
We are asking all participating artists to help with promotion, by sending out an email notice to their lists. The Piedmont Art Center will be assisting us with promotion as well, by doing email blasts and community newspaper coverage of the event.
