DROP OFF
Here’s a handy check list to go over before you leave the house; Work not meeting these requirements won’t be accepted, and hardware stores are generally closed weekends, so plan ahead.
WIRED, LABELED, PHOTO’D, SIGNED, PAID, CONSIGNED, FAMILY PHOTO
- Check that you have properly wired your work with a good, strong wire. Work must be securely wired to hang when you drop it off; we WILL NOT have hardware to do this at the gallery If your work needs an alternate hanging method, please CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY to discuss the details.
- Label your work on the back with your NAME, PIECE TITLE, and PHONE NUMBER, preferably in a removable way (like a card taped to the back) so we can take it off should the piece sell.
- Consider documenting and signing your work (doesn’t have to be on the front) before dropping it off. Your work may sell, and you will want a good photo of it before it’s no longer yours. Also, a good photo will allow us to post your work to the web and reach more people; I have actually sold work based on photos on my site!
- Bring $7.00 cash or a check made out to Launch Pad Gallery. If you can, please try to bring small bills or exact change. This small amount multiplied over all you artists helps to offset the production costs of the show (the fire permit alone costs $250!!) If you can’t afford this, we completely understand, please let us know; alternately, if $7.00 is small change for you right now, consider sponsoring another artist.
- Bring your completed consignment form. I realize that some of you don’t have printers, so there will be a limited number of blank forms on hand; consider printing on both sides of the page to save paper. If you are out of town, please sign and mail in your consignment form. If you have any questions or want to talk about any of the terms, don’t hesitate to call and I will get back to you ASAP!
If you can't open the consignment form attached to this email, you can download it HERE
- Bring a family Photo to scan, or better, a CD or drive with a photo on it, OR Better Yet, email your photo to familyphoto@launchpadgallery.org and invite a friend to do the same, and we’ll do a slideshow at the opening.
