ON THE GREEN SHOW RULES

These rules are intended to produce a show that fosters art appreciation, supports the purchase of original art and provides each exhibitor the opportunity to show work to its best advantage. Failure to comply with show rules may result in an exhibitor being asked to remove non-compliant items from sale or face dismissal from the show.

EXHIBITOR ELIGIBILITY: The show is open to all entrants, regardless of race, color, creed, sexual orientation or national origin. The show offers 200 booth spaces, two-thirds art and one-third craft. Art and craft exhibitors are in separate display areas. The exhibiting artist must be present during show hours on both days. No dealers, agents, artist representatives or sit-ins are allowed.

AWARDS: All categories will be judged by qualified art or craft judges. Winners will receive cash awards and ribbons.

ELIGIBLE WORK FOR DISPLAY: All artwork that is framed and/or hung on the walls of the artist's tent must be original and one-of-a-kind, executed and signed by the artist. Exhibitors may not exhibit work purchased for resale from other artists or commercial suppliers. No buy/sell. We do not allow dealers, greenware, unset tumbled stones, sale of frames or the resale of craft kits or patterns.

Reproductions may not be framed or hung on the walls of the exhibitors tent. This includes reproductions printed on canvas with hand-made enhancements by the artist. All reproductions must be clearly labeled and sold as reproductions. They must be numbered and signed, wrapped and displayed in print racks or bins. No more than 25% of an exhibitor's display may be devloted to reproductions. Note cards are not allowed.

Photographers may not hang the same framed image in a variety of sizes nor may they hang multiples of the same framed image. All photographic prints must be handmade by the artist in the darkroom or via digital/graphics. Please refer to Art Media Definitions.

The Show Committee reserves the right to request removal of any items that do not comply, and further retains the right to dismiss from the show any exhibitor who fails to comply with these or other stated policies.

EXHIBITOR SPACE ASSIGNMENTS: Each exhibitor booth is 12’ x 15’ on grass. All booths are corner spaces (two sides open onto an aisle). Exhibitors must provide their own display booths and racks. Exhibitors may apply for a limited supply of double booth spaces. Exhibitors may not relocate or move their assigned space without the permission of the Show Committee.

Exhibitors are solely responsible for their art and display. Glastonbury Art Guild assumes no responsiblity for loss or damage to any art work, display or personal injury. Exhibitors are advised to remove art from booths overnight. Displays must be sturdy enough to withstand crowds, wind and weather conditions - the show goes on, rain or shine. Electricity is not available at the show site. Please be a good neighbor and keep your space clean and tidy. Do not bring pets to the show.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: The application deadline is May 31, 2007. Your application constitutes an agreement to exhibit if accepted. Applications received after May 30 will be considered after all other on-time applications are juried and only as space is available. Jury results will be mailed at the end of June 2007. 

CANCELLATION POLICY: If you withdraw your application before May 31, 2007, we will return your booth fee less a $50 processing fee. There will be no refunds made for withdrawals after May 31, 2007.
