Important Dates for Participating Artists

Accepted artists are required to:

• Sign a participation contract in duplicate (artist receives one copy)
• Pay the fixed fee of $100 (one hundred dollars)
• Pick up invitations and posters for the sale
• Pick up any artwork submitted to Calyx for jury (documents and photos will not be returned)

 

Artists must submit an itemized inventory list of artwork including Title or Description and Price of each piece of artwork to be brought to the sale no later than Wednesday September 17, 2008. Artists submitting lists after this date will be assessed a fee of $10 per day for every day this list is late - this fee will be deducted from the artist's cheque for artwork sold. Please submit this list as an excel spreadsheet on compact disc, floppy disc, or by email to calyxart@shaw.ca

Artists are required to attend a pre-sale informative meeting and social at the Crescent Heights Community Centre located at 1101 - 2nd St, NW Calgary, AB, from 6:00 - 9:00 pm. The purpose of this meeting is:

• To distribute price labels for artwork and sale day instructions
• To have artists sign up for specific duties on sale day
• To enable artists to meet each other before sale day
• To have each artist make a 1 - 2 minute presentation about their artwork (bring one piece with you to this meeting) and distribute a short (maximum one page) description of their art to the other artists - this will enable artists to readily discuss ALL of the artwork with clients on sale day

Exhibition and sale. This is a two day sale presenting different artists each day. Each artist participates on only ONE of the two days - NOT both. All artists must be available to participate either Saturday or Sunday and Calyx will assign each artist their day to ensure the best possible mix of artists/artwork and a strong and varied exhibition both days. All artists must be present and available for set-up, public sale hours, and for take-down and clean up on the day they are assigned.

Artists to receive cheques.
