ART MART • GUIDELINES Art Mart Dates: November 20-22, 2015 Please keep a copy of these rules for your reference and submit only the Art Mart Application along with your booth fee and photographs. • ABOUT THE ART MART • APPLICATION DEADLINE Applications deadline: Since 2003, the Art Mart has showcased the art of local and regional artists working in a variety of styles, including painting, sculpture, photography, ceramics, pottery, mixed media art, jewelry, mosaics, glass and other media. The Art Mart booth fees and the proceeds of the silent auction benefit the Friends of the Bath House Cultural Center, a non-profit organization that supports year-round visual and performing arts programs at the center. The Bath House Cultural Center is a facility of the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs that is dedicated to fostering the growth, development and quality of multi-cultural arts. The center emphasizes innovative visual and performing arts as well as other multi-disciplinary events throughout the year. • SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS Artists who would like to be considered for the Art Mart must fill out an Artist Application Form and submit it to the Bath House Cultural Center by the application deadline. Applications must be received by the deadline in order to be considered. Booth fees and photographs of artwork are to be included with the application. Please read all the information contained in these guidelines carefully before submitting your application. Signing and submitting applications implies agreement to terms and conditions stated in these guidelines. Please contact the Bath House Cultural Center if you have questions. Saturday, Oct. 10, 2015 (5 PM) • JURYING OF APPLICATIONS All the applications are reviewed by a Selection Committee, which selects 40-45 artists to be included in the Art Mart. The committee members base their selection on a number of factors, which include, among other criteria, the quality, uniqueness, and the price of the artwork to be sold. The committee attempts to maintain a well-balanced representation of artists and media in order to provide a diverse marketplace for art patrons. The committee's selection is final and undisputable. • NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE Applicants are solely responsible for reviewing the results of the selection process by visiting the Bath House Cultural Center’s online Media Room at www.bathhousemedia.com after 7 PM on Saturday, October 17, 2015. • BOOTH SPACES Booth spaces are available in five different areas inside the building: 1. 2. 3. Theater Lobby Hallway Gallery 521 E. Lawther Drive • Dallas, Texas 75211 • (214) 670-8749 • www.bathhousecultural.com 1 4. 5. Main Gallery Classroom Gallery All the spaces are located indoors and are of various sizes. Occasionally, booth spaces are also available in the front and back porch of the building. NOTE: Artists are not allowed to hang art on the walls of the lobby and theater. Artists choosing these spaces must display their works on movable panels, tables, or pedestals. ART MART UNDERGROUND: The 2015 Art Mart will not include spaces in the Art Mart Underground area (located in the lower level of the building). • SELECTION OF BOOTH LOCATIONS / BOOTH FEES Please refer to the application and booth maps to see the available size, location, configuration, and price of each booth space. The applicants will have a chance to specify the location of two booth locations of their preference on their application. The committee will consider the locations indicated by the artists and will attempt to give each vendor the space of his/her choice. However, very often the locations desired by the artists are not available because of a number of circumstances (heavy demand of some spaces, heavy concentration of artists offering similar products in the same room, and other logistical considerations). In such cases, the committee will offer an alternative location to artists. If an artist does not accept the location assigned to him/her, that person will have the option of opting out of the Art Mart, thus giving another vendor a chance to participate in the event. Booth fees are to be included with the application. Checks must be written in the amount of t h e highest priced booth of the artist’s top two choices. If a lower priced booth is assigned to the artist, the Friends of the Bath House Cultural Center will reimburse the fee difference to the applicant on the weekend of the Art Mart. The checks of applicants who are not selected for the Art Mart will be destroyed with a paper shredder. Artists will only be allowed to setup their booth if their fee has been received by the Art Mart committee. In the event of a returned check, the applicant will not be allowed to participate in the event and his/her space will be assigned to another artist. • TABLES, DISPLAYS AND EQUIPMENT Artists must provide their own equipment for the display of their artwork (panels, chairs, electrical chords, extra lighting, tablecloths, etc.). Tables (6’ x 32”) can be rented for the weekend for $10. Adequate lighting will be provided in all booth spaces, but artists can also bring additional lighting devices of their own. • SHARING OF BOOTHS Subleasing or sharing of booth space is not allowed. Multiple artists who represent one single art organization, however, are eligible to share a booth. • SILENT AUCTION All vendors are required to donate one item (minimum value of $50) to the Friends of the Bath House Cultural Center for use in a Silent Auction that will take place during the Art Mart. Proceeds from the silent auction will go to the Friends of the Bath House Cultural Center, an organization that supports visual and performing art events at the Bath House Cultural Center. The Bath House must receive silent auction items by Wednesday, November 18, 2015 (5 PM). Please know that it is important that we get your donations on time so we can set up the auction on the Thursday before the Art Mart. Thank you for your cooperation. The silent auction donation is in addition to the booth fee requirement. Vendors will not be allowed to participate in the Art Mart if they do not provide an auction item by the designated date. You may hand-deliver your auction donation to the Bath House during the center’s regular hours, Tuesday-Saturday, 12-6 PM. NOTE: Artists who live outside of the DFW area should contact the Bath House to make special arrangements to deliver/ship their donations. • SALES Artists are responsible for conducting their own transactions and for taking care of their own sales taxes.
