GUIDELINES: ELIGIBILITY AND ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
(Failure to comply with entry requirements will disqualify entry)
You may provide your art work for sale at the Talents of Tomorrow youth art show, but this is not a requirement. If you elect to place your art work for sale, please provide the Gallery with the sale price. If your art work is sold during the exhibition, Jacobs Gallery will retain a 45 percent commission on all sales; this is the standard gallery commission. If your work sells during the exhibition, you DO NOT need to come in on the art work pick-up date. Instead, a check will be mailed to you, approximately one week after the closing of the show.
If you elect not to provide your art work for public sale, then please include the insurance value on the entry form. The “insurance value” is the amount you would anticipate receiving if the piece were for sale (i.e., 55 percent of the sale price).
GUIDELINES: SELECTION PROCESS
A panel of three jurors will independently select works for exhibition in the 2012 Talents of Tomorrow youth art show. To ensure an exciting and balanced exhibit jurors are instructed to make selections which will showcase a sampling of some of the best recent work created by young Lane County artists. The jurors reserve the right to accept or reject any entry. The 2012 Talents of Tomorrow youth art show juror's will be listed online when they have been finally chosen.
