Prints & Reproduction Standards
Prints & Reproduction Standards
All prints should be signed and presented in an archival plastic sleeve with heavy-duty backing paper or board behind your piece for stability.
Archival plastic sleeves are available locally at Hobby Lobby and online on Amazon. Don't wait, as they tend to sell out quickly.
Ensure your plastic sleeve is sized properly for your piece.
See Editioning Information below for notes on industry standards for signing and editioning your prints.
It is recommended that you include printed business cards or identifying information in the sleeve with your work.
3D Work & Products
3D Work & Products
Ceramics, Sculptures, and other 3D work may be displayed in glass cabinets, pedestals, or on tables.
Products such as apparel, stickers, fabric, etc. may be displayed on pedestals, tables, hangers, or shelves.
All work must be dusted, clean, labeled (if applicable), and ready to sell.
If you need specific product packaging (ex: a box for a mug or sculpture), you are responsible for having that on-site during the event.
Apparel must be clearly labeled with sizes and free from wrinkles.
Hanging System Options
Hanging System Options
Our gallery hanging system is compatible with wired artwork. Use a wire attached to the frame between one-third and one-quarter of the way down the sides of the piece.
Unframed canvas pieces are acceptable as long as they are ready to hang with wire.
Sawtooth hangers may be used within Marketplace, but are not compatible with the gallery hanging system on our walls. They will be placed elsewhere in the Marketplace.
Some work may be displayed on pegboard walls. Various hooks, hangers, and shelves are available.
Framing Standards
Framing Standards
No wet paint is allowed in the Marketplace. All work must be dry.
You may frame your work with or without a mat.
Glass frames are more professional than plexiglass and are recommended.
Do not leave any dust inside the frame. Clean glass and frame thoroughly before drop-off.
Consider putting rubber bumpers on the back of your frames.
