Artcite’s 33rd annual DOIN’ THE LOUVRE Holiday FUN(d)raising®™ exhibition
November 28 – December 24, 2014 Gala Reception Friday November 28, 7:00 pm
ENTRY DROP-OFF DATES & TIMES: November 13 – Nov 22 from 1:00 – 6:00 pm.
Please note that we are NOT open Sundays, Mondays or mornings! Call the friendly Artcite staff if you cannot drop-off during these times.
ELIGIBILITY: Open to Windsor and Detroit/ South Eastern Michigan area artists (if you live outside of the area, but want to be part of DTL, please call–we would love to be able to include works by our out-of-town members and friends!)
FEES, PRICING AND COMISSIONS: DTL is open and free to all up-to-date Artcite members, so we know you will want to renew your memberships. If you really don’t want to be a member, you can simply pay the $15 admin fee (per you, not per work), which helps cover our inventory control costs. But since the student/ unemployed/ retired membership rate is $20 and the regular membership is $25, why not splurge?!
All DTL art must be priced at $99.99 or LESS, and less sells better.
Sales commission or this special Artcite FUN(d)raiser ®™ is 70% artist, 30% Artcite.
EXHIBITION REQUIREMENTS: Paintings, drawings, prints, photographs (or a combination of media), small scale 3-D works and artist-made gift items (books, toys, cards, “art-wear”, t-shirts, pottery, accessories, Christmas ornaments, etc.) will be exhibited. A maximum of 10 works per artist will be accepted ( incl. print ed’s., artists’ multiples).
Combined dimensions of each work should not exceed 24 “+ 24 ” (or 48″ running, two sides -eg: one side at 14″, the other side at 34″ works too.). If you really want larger, you must pre-clear your entry with us, and it may be mounted very high or low on the gallery walls.
3-D works must fit within a 24″ cube.
PLEASE RESPECT the size restrictions! With over 1000 items on display in recent years, hanging space can get tight.
MULTIPLES: 10 identical and identically priced works can count as ONE work.
This works best for very low-priced works, e.g. Holiday cards, audio CD’s, pins, magnets etc.
Be advised that only ONE of these might be displayed at a time.
However, a similar group of items, (eg t-shirts) with different designs and prices will count as separate items.
Looks different and/ or has a different price = separate item.
Looks the same, has the same price = multiple item, counts as one entry.
SMALL JEWELLERY: Please affix small items of jewellery to a display panel where possible. Black velvet over foam board in a frame works well. Sew, pin or clip the works securely. Providing your own moderately sized display case is always appreciated. 2-D artworks do not have to be framed, but they MUST be ready for hanging.
All entries must be clearly identified with labeling on the back, where possible
* Artist’s name, title, medium, date and sale price.
Works accepted will be insured by Artcite during the exhibition ONLY. We regret that due to restrictions of storage space, Artcite cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to unsold works not picked up by Tuesday, Jan 6, 2015.
