'ONE OF A KIND' SHOW INFORMATION

The following is a list of parameters for our upcoming show at Gallery on Pearl. If you have any questions please direct them to John Guenther or Dolita Dohrman.

1. Only current members of Louisville Clay will be eligible to participate in the exhibit.

2. Each LC member may submit 2 pieces (each different). One to be put on exhibit and one to be in reserve in the event the exhibited piece sells. Please box each piece separately and attach the info for that piece on the outside of the box. You may download the form here: Tags for Boxes. (Double click and download the form to your desktop, then print) If you choose to submit a ‘set’, it must be sold as a set and not be individually priced. There will be no jury of pieces selected for exhibit. Both pieces may be put on display depending on how many people sign up and how much space we have at the gallery. Right now though, we are just counting on displaying one piece at a time from each person.

3. All exhibited pieces must be for sale. LC members are encouraged to price their artworks at a reasonable price to encourage sales. The Gallery on Pearl will retain 40% of the sale price of each item sold.

4. LC members will deliver all work to 1811 Edenside Ave., Louisville, KY 40204 by OCTOBER 30th. NO LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED. If I am not home, please leave the work on my back porch.

5. $100.00 will be allocated by The Gallery on Pearl toward the expense of printing an announcement. LC will design the postcard with the approval of Gallery on Pearl.

6. Title of the exhibit will again be “One of a Kind – A Holiday Exhibition”.

7. The LC group will assume mailing costs for announcements mailed out by that organization. The Gallery on Pearl will assume mailing costs only for its personal mailing list. All announcements should be mailed 3 weeks prior to the opening of the exhibit.

8. Reception: (Nov. 6) Wine, bottled water, coffee, and possibly other drinks will be provided by The Gallery on Pearl. A limited hors-d'oeuvre offering will be provided by The Gallery on Pearl.

KMAC SHOW INFORMATION


You may be familiar with our annual Holidazzle Exhibition – a wide range of art and craft in all media from Kentucky and further afield.

This year we are expanding the show to include a complimentary exhibition called Holidazzle Clay which will feature members of Louisville Clay.

OCTOBER 17 - JANUARY 2: The show will run throughout the Holiday Season

Members of Louisville Clay will be invited to submit up to 3 pieces for consideration. This is a selling show, so all work should be for sale. We work on the standard 50 / 50 commission split.
We will chose the show from actual work – not photos.

OCTOBER 5,6,7: (Mon, Tues, Wed) Deliver work to KMAC with the W-9 and exhibit forms included during their normal operating hours of 10-5 pm.

Please use the attached contract and bring in a filled out form with your work. (You may download the form here: Louisville Clay Contract
(Double click and download the form to your desktop, then print)

OCTOBER 9: Final selection of work.

OCTOBER 16: Reception 5 - 7:30

We need to have an up to date W-9 form on file for each artist in the show or gallery. The IRS have much stricter rules now and we are not able to exhibit work without a W-9 on file. I have attached a PDF with the W-9 form. If you are not sure if we have a W-9 on file, please deliver a signed copy with your submission. You may download the form here: www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf

We have recently been levied with a $2,000 fine for an artist whose work we have sold, who did not file taxes for 5 years and for whom we do not have a current W-9 on file.

Contact me with any questions!

I look forward to working with you all once again.
