THE ARTSHOW

The Eurofurence Artshow is an exhibition of furry-themed artwork. Everyone who has some skills in drawing, painting or sculpting is wholeheartedly invited to take part. This page contains all the information that you need to display and maybe even sell some of your artwork at the show. Responsible for the artshow is Tabalon (artist relations, signup for all technical aspects, hanging and setup).

HOW TO TAKE PART

All you need to do to take part is to bring your artwork to the con, and sign in at the artshow room. However, it's much safer if you write an email to Tabalon, our artists relation manager, and let him know that you want to take part, and how much space you need. We will then reserve hanging space for your artwork. If you sign in your artwork at the con, space is distributed on "first come, first served" basis. Please read the rules before taking part!

THE RULES

Information for First-Timers

• The artshow is supposed to give every artist the opportunity to display and sell their artwork to the public.
• Pieces of Artwork can be "for sale" or "not for sale".
• Visitors of the art show may bid on "for sale" pieces, by writing their bid onto bid sheets wich are attached to each piece of art.
• At signup, you will be asked to fill out the bid sheets to be attached to your artwork with your name, the title, medium, and the minimum bid amount.
• Once a piece of artwork has been signed into the Art Show, it may not be withdrawn nor may conditions of sale be changed.
• At the end of the art show, Eurofurence will collect the money from the hightest bidders, and hand them their artwork. The proceeds will then be handed over to the artists.

• Only artists may enter themselves in the show, and they may do so only once. Each artists may authorize an agent to act as a representative. There may be excpetions if there is a significant number of unclaimed panels.
• We do allow mail-in art. If you cannot find any other way to get your artwork to and from the show, write us and explain the problem. We will try to help. You must pay for all shipping costs for your art. If you mail art without our prior written agreement, we will return it immediately.
• All flat entries must be matted, mounted or framed and ready for hanging. (A simple matteboard frame will do, the Artwork does not need to be behind glass.)
• If your artwork is three-dimensional, please contact us early so we can provide adequate display space.
• All entries must be original works of the artist(s) on furry, wildlife, science-fiction or fantasy themes, submitted by the artist or agent.

• Please remember that the space you reserve must include any clearance between pieces, including space for their attached bid sheets.
• Your artwork may not extend beyond the edge of any panel; it may not interfere with any works displayed by other artists.
