Can I replace sold work? view our web site, www.artisandirectltd.net.
If a piece of artwork is sold, you can bring another one to replace
it. You will have to make sure it fits the empty space, otherwise it
will not be accepted.
Can I put work on the floor in front of my wall?
No. Artwork may not be stacked against walls, on the floor, or on
tabletops.
Can I have prints to sell at the show?
Yes. We will have a print bin next to the table. All prints will go

How do I prepare my prints?
Be sure your prints are made rigid with cardboard at the back
and wrapped in cellophane. Put a sticky label at the back with
your name, title, size, and the price. Remember that they will be
handled often; therefore, they have to be protected. Prints that
become dirty will not sell.

Gallery Wrap Instructions Correct Incorrect
GALLERY WRAP refers to the way your canvas
is stretched. The staples should be on the back
of the canvas rather than the side so they will
not be visible when your artwork is hung.
