One will contain promotions materials, graphics and text to share with your contact list and on social media about the show. We are compiling the accepted works images to send to our marketing person to create these materials, so please be patient.
The other email will be sent once we have the images and information uploaded to our website. We will ask you to look over and confirm everything is correct. This same information will also appear on the wall tags that accompany your piece in the gallery display.
Carefully read over the shipping and drop off information as well as make sure you include ALL the necessary paperwork for your accepted work with your piece(s). Please consider sending a miniature, original artwork to give away in our customer Goody Bags. All we need is one, but some of you have been industrious in the past and sent more! You still can if you like.
