Sales and Exhibiting Terms & Conditions

Submission and delivery of art

Arts Wayland welcomes artist participation in the exhibit. Please carefully read the following Terms & Conditions. Your participation requires agreement with the following:

Art may be refused if it does not meet the quality criteria of the exhibit. All of the work should be framed or professionally displayed, and be ready for hanging with D-clips and wire. 3-D artwork can be hung depending on size and weight. We have pedestals to display 3-D artwork if needed. Frames, both front and back, should be professional in appearance. If tape is used it should be very neat and professional looking. Duct tape should not be used.  If multiple works are exhibited there should be an effort to have frames as consistent looking as possible in the submissions. Failing to meet these requirements may result in rejection of works after drop off requiring the artist to pick up before the show is hung.

Submissions will be curated to ensure the best quality for the exhibition. We will accept at least one work from each member artist. Up to four additional works may be accepted based on quality and space allowed so please submit your best work!  Member artists can apply to participate in the salon as often as they want; however, first-time participants will be given priority if space is limited. 

Art will be accepted and offered for display or sale for a specified display/sales period. All art must have the required identification label on the back with artist name, title, size, medium, contact info.

The artist will establish the sales price at the time of submission and will not change the price without first notifying Arts Wayland.

The artist agrees to remove unsold art from the exhibit space during the show pick up period. The artist agrees it is their responsibility to do this or arrange for someone to do so. No art can be left in the exhibit space for later pickup.
