*Updates to the prospectus are in bold
We are going to have a live exhibition and sale.
I have decided that in addition to the online exhibition and sale on OnlineGalleryShows.com, we will also be selecting pieces for a live show at the Randy Higbee Gallery. The first 125 paid artists are guaranteed at least 1 piece into the live show. Award winners from our 11 previous shows are guaranteed at least 2 pieces being exhibited to the live show and no more than 4 pieces at one time. We will accept up to 6 pieces so we can have back ups as pieces sell. We will display over 350 at the live show.
Pieces accepted to the live show will also be for sale on OnlineGalleryShows.com, and artists can opt to be online only at the time of acceptance. We will be starting to accept pieces to the live show immediately, and the results for the online show will be available by November 24th. Please let us know if you prefer to be Online Only by December 1st.
Pieces that are sold on OnlineGalleryShows.com will be the price you enter on OnlineJuriedShows.com-which are sold unframed and with free shipping. You will be able to change the price of your artwork for the live show upon acceptance to adjust for framing costs. If a live show piece sells on OnlineGalleryShows.com, we will send the piece to the collector unframed and credit you back the cost of the frame.
Artwork for the live show must be framed in a kingofframe.com frame. Once accepted, you can send in your artwork already framed or you can send it in unframed and choose from special offer frames that will be emailed to you. You will have high quality frame offers starting at $35 including assembly.
Gallery wrapped pieces accepted to the live show do not have to be framed.
The awards will go up to $4000.
