10) What are the entry fees for shows?
Entry fees in 2017 range from $70-$205 (single space) depending upon whether you are a member/non-member, space size, length of show, etc. Extra ½ spaces are sometimes available - xtra ½ entry fee. Double spaces can also be available at times (double entry fee). 5x10 spaces - a few are available at some shows for a lower fee.
11) If the show is filled or my category filled what should I do?
Request to be put on the cancellation list. You must have passed jury and naturally your medium would need to be accepted for that particular show. You will be placed on the list for cancellation in your category. But - please give us the following info: your name, address and telephone number, e-mail address and medium/category. Depending upon the show we may ask you about your display set-up. Tell us how close to the time of the show you can be notified And, if you are on the cancellation list and can no longer exhibit, please let us know. It frees up a space for one of your fellow exhibitors to be placed on the cancellation list.
12) I can't find my jury/approval No. What do I do?
We do not give non-member jury/approval numbers by telephone or e-mail (except for initially). When sending applications you can make a notation where you would normally write in your non-member jury/approval number that you can not find it and we will handle it for you. If you have exhibited since passing jury check off non-member previous exhibitor instead. None of this, of course, applies to members who fill in their membership number.
13) I already have a non-member jury/approval number & am interested in membership.
Send us an e-mail requesting a membership application - indicate you have already passed jury. Please be sure and tell us your medium - if your category is closed for membership at that time we can place your name on you on a waiting list if you like.
14) When do I have to re-jury?
You will need to re-jury if we ask you to (for a particular show or another reason), if you have not exhibited or juried with us in two years and of course if your medium or work changes.
15) I would like to exhibit jewelry along with the other work I create. Can I do this this?
If you wish to exhibit jewelry along with work in another category you will need to include the percentage of jewelry to be included in your display. Of course the jewelry will have to have passed the regular jury process as well as your other work. Acceptance for the jewelry into a particular show will depend upon availability in the jewelry category as well as how high the percentage of jewelry is in your display.
