K SPACE CONTEMPORARY GALLERY
The Spectacular Salon is a giant annual art show and sale. This year we are holding it in conjunction with our annual Holiday Ornament Show and ArtWalk on December 5th. Spectacular Salon is a great opportunity to show off your work – especially at gift-giving time. Our holiday show has traditionally been one of our most well-attended events, so we expect another great crowd.
Spectacular Salon Basics: artists rent space on the wall in our main gallery and display everything that will fit within that space. The result is a floor to ceiling Art Extravaganza!
Spectacular Salon is a show of high quality FINE ART. To keep the quality up, artists are required to “apply” to partcipate. (See “To Apply” below). Please read “Guidelines” below before you apply.
.
Guidelines:
- $30 Rental Rate ($20 for supporting & studio members)
- FINE ART MEDIA ONLY – Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Sculpture, Ceramics, and Mixed Media. You are renting wall or pedestal space, not a booth space – all works will be displayed on the wall or on pedestals. Artists are not allowed to set up tables or shelving.
- Wall space is appx. 100 square feet: 7-8 ft. wide by 12 ft. high or on the movable walls or 7-8ft tall by 12 feet wide.
- Install your own work: Dec.3, 11 am to 7 pm, Dec. 4, 11 am to 6 pm. Bring your own hangers/nails, hammer, measuring tape. You may borrow our ladder(s).
- 2 artists may share one space. Both must apply.
- The main event is Friday, Dec. 5 in conjunction with ArtWalk 5:30 to 9 pm. Artists are encouraged to be present.
- LABEL each work with your name, title, media, dimensions and retail price. (A business card with title, price, etc. works too). Label must be securely attached to each work.
- If artist is available to make his/her own sales transactions, no gallery commission will be charged.
- 20% commission will be deducted from works sold by K Space Contemporary: this means any sale that is made across the K Space front desk (through the K Space credit card machine or cash register) and works sold when artist is not present to make transactions. (our usual commission is 40%)
- Artists’ payments will be ready to pick up January 3 – next ArtWalk.
- Works will be on display through Friday, Dec. 19.
- Pick up artwork on Saturday Dec. 20, 11 am to 3pm. It is important that you pick up your work on Dec. 20 because we are closed from Dec. 21 – Jan. 2.
