The Art Show Reservation Deadline is January 27, 2006.  Please make checks payable to: UNCG/Stellarcon.  There is no commission charged with the Regular Art Show.  The art show reservations are being handled on a first come first serve basis.  There is limited table space for 3-D Art Work.  In case of artist cancellation, Stellarcon will attempt to resell your space.  If the space is resold, it will allow us to refund your money.

All the artwork entered shall have affixed to it a completed Art Show Bid Sheet.  Please be sure to include the Title and Artist on the back of the piece independent of the Art Show Bid Sheet in case the Art Show Bid Sheet should become separated from the Artwork.  Please fill out an Art Show Control Sheet showing all the artwork you plan to exhibit in the Art Show.  Please also make sure your artwork is ready to hang using binder clips.  The panels are pegboard and we use hooks and binder clips to hang all the artwork.

We invite you to attend Stellarcon 30.  If you are unable to do so, you may instead be represented by an Agent who will hang and take down your artwork.  The Artist must provide a written authorization for the person named as Agent.  An attending membership for you or your Agent will cost $30.00 before January 1^st and $35.00 after January 1^st.  Please use the Convention Registration Form for Artist/Agent to make your reservations.  If you do not plan to attend please use the same form to send in a $10.00 Non-Attending Membership.  Please make checks payable to UNCG/Stellarcon for the Convention Reservation but you still mail all paperwork to the Stellarcon 30 Art Show address.

Stellarcon accepts mail-in artwork.  Please be sure that any artwork mailed is shipped by February 1, 2006 .  This will allow us time to check the artwork, make sure nothing is damaged and make sure that all the fees and forms are present and filled in correctly.  In addition to the entry fee, it is required that enough funds be sent to cover return shipping and insurance.  Please make this a separate check from the entry fee.  If insufficient funds are sent for return shipping fees, the difference will be deducted from the sales of your artwork.

All artwork must be accompanied by a completed Art Show Control Sheet.  This will act as a packing list to insure all artwork is present.  A signed copy of the Art Show Release and Waiver must be sent either in advance or with your artwork.  Please be sure your artwork fits in the space you bought.  If there is too much for your space, the staff will decide which to hang and which not to hang.  Panels will only be restocked as time permits.

Your artwork will be well cared for, but Stellarcon cannot be held responsible for artwork lost or damaged in shipping.  Please send artwork in secure packaging, as the same package will be used to return any unsold items.  Packing that cannot be reused will be replaced at the artist’s expense.

A signed copy of the Art Show Release and Waiver must be returned by all artists/agents as an indication that they have read, understand and agree to abide by the rules governing Stellarcon’s display and sale of their artwork.  Artists/Agents should contact Art Show Director Dixie Cochran at Dixie_C_Cochran@yahoo.com or at 919-326-7377 if they have any questions.

Any item with no bids may be purchased at the Quick Sale Price listed on the Art Show Bid Sheet.  As soon as one (1) bid has been made, it can no longer be purchased at the Quick Sale Price.  Any item with two (2) bids will go to the Art Voice Auction on Sunday at Noon .  At the discretion of the Art Show Director, items with no bids may be selected to go to the Art Voice Auction.  Bidding will start with the minimum bid price or the highest written bid, whichever applies.  Items with only one (1) bid may be purchased and picked up on Sunday at any point after 10:00 am but before 2:00 pm .

No food, drink, smoking or picture taking will be allowed in the Art Show Room.  Members of the convention will be asked to leave bags or packages at the front door upon entering the Art Show.
