Art Show Rules, Procedures and Agreement Form
All artwork submitted MUST have a Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Anthropomorphic theme.

Hanging works do not need to be framed; however, all 2D artwork MUST be matted. All artwork must be marked on the back with the artist's name and the name of the piece.
ConClave uses a steel commercial grid hanging system, and standard hotel tables for 3D art. All art must be able to be presented in these venues. Any special display fixtures are only acceptable at the discretion of the art show staff, hotel management and the fire marshal. If you have any special hanging fixtures it is best to get permission in advance.
As space is limited and sold by the piece not the panel, the art show reserves the right to rearrange pieces in order to consolidate space for other artists to exhibit their work.
ConClave will not be held responsible for artwork lost, stolen or damaged in transit or at the show, and will not be responsible for artwork not picked up by closing time of the show. This does not include mail-in art, which will be returned according to the instructions given in the artist's registration.
ConClave will have one voice auction on Saturday evening. Any items receiving 2 or more bids on the bid sheets will be sent to the voice auction. Items receiving one bid on the bid sheets will be sold to the highest written bidder.
All sales will be by written or voice bid only. There will be no quick sales, after show sales. For those who are interested in a piece which has not sold during the convention ConClave will be happy to put a potential buyer in contact with the artist for them to work out any sale arrangement privately unless the artist has requested that their contact information not be revealed.
ConClave is pleased to announce, for the first time, Sunday sales in it's Art Show! If you wish your Sunday Sales price to be higher than your original Minimum Bid price, please let us know.
