(Please do NOT send a check payable to Revelcon as this cannot be deposited. All checks for return postage must be made payable to Friends of Fandom.)
Registration deadlines: two (2) week before con. Art should arrive no later than one (1) week before con.
All Art Show Participants must be either an attending or supporting member of Revelcon. Supporting memberships are $10, payable to Revelcon.
There will be a 15% commission on all sales.
All art must be ready to hang (except 3D pieces).
Neither Revelcon nor Friends of Fandom are responsible for art shipped. If you need to ship yours, please contact us first so that arrangements suitable to both parties can be made.
The con committee and/or Friends of Fandom reserves the right to refuse submitted artwork.
No food, drinks, bags, purses, or cameras will be allowed in the Art Room.
Friends of Fandon and/or Revelcon reserves the right to video artwork for security/inventory purposes only.
All original art and hand-colored/altered prints are acceptable for auction. Single copies of original prints can go to auction as long as no duplicates are present in the Print Shop. Two bids are required to send a piece to auction, but if time permits, we have been known to include a piece with two or no bids. Pieces with one bid will go to that bidder, so consider that when determining your minimum bid.
Particulars:
Print Shop artwork is encouraged and accepted, but their sale will be handled as QSP (Quick Sale Price).
Quick sale prices (QSP) and after auction prices (AAP) may be put on art (at artist's option) to allow purchase before or after the auction.
Artwork displayed may be NOT FOR SALE (NFS). One of our major purposes is to display good artwork.
If a print of a piece of art is available in the print shop, it must be noted on the bid sheet. The art show recognizes a hand-colored/altered print as an original work of art.
A NOTE TO ARTISTS: Any art is acceptable, but please keep in mind REVELcon is known for buddy/ partnership/relationship media fandom and this is what many attendees are looking for in artwork.
