MILLENNICON ART
SHOW GUIDELINES Theme: We would
like to display
artwork with
a science fiction, fantasy, fannish or science related theme or
subject. 2D,
3D, Digital, Textiles etc. are all welcome. Fees: The
hanging fee is 25 cents
per piece.
The art show will take a 10% commission on all sales. This fee
structure has
allowed the art show to break even in the past and helps cover the cost
of
forms, correspondence and hanging panels. Awards: We will be
giving awards
for the “Best
of Show” as judged by the show attendees, as well as awards
for
the best
print/reproduction, 3D and original in SF, Fantasy, Humor and Horror. Mail-in: We will be
accepting
mail-in art.
Indicate that you will be shipping your artwork when you contact us. We
are
known for our rapid return of un-sold art and for quick payment of
artists,
usually within a week after the convention. Auction: We have
one auction on
Saturday night.
Three bids are required for a piece to go to auction. Pieces with no
more than
two bids when the art show closes Saturday will be sold to the highest
bidder
on the bid sheet. Pieces not sold by close of show on Saturday will be
available for sale at Quick Ratings: We reserve
the right to
remove, or not
include, any art that we feel may violate local standards. Artists
whose art is
not shown for this reason will not be charged a hanging fee for the
piece in
question. If you have concerns regarding a piece of art you’d
like to send,
please check with us to clarify. (Important
note! We are in General
Information 1.
Whether
you are mailing in art or bringing it in person, please reserve your
space
ahead of time. Any art without a previous reservation will be displayed
only if
there is space to do so. Note
that we no longer require a hanging fee prior to the convention in
order to put
you in the queue.
a)
Your place in the reservation queue.
b)
How much space you reserved ahead of time.
c)
Whether your hanging fee and return postage (if applicable) has been
received.
d)

Any
submissions that don't follow the above guidelines will be hung as

available.
All
artists may request bid sheets via snail mail up to February 15th.
We strongly encourage artists to make use of our digital capabilities,
however,
in the interests of speed. Mail-in
artists may request digital bid sheets all the way to March 1st. We can
make
exceptions if need be, but please take into account the time it will
take for
your art to reach us by the due date. Walk-in
artists may request digital bid sheets for mail-in art all the way up
the day
before the convention. If you are mailing your art, it should arrive one week before the first day of the convention. We pick up all the way to the day before the convention starts but strongly encourage you to get the work in by the given due date for check-in.
