Other Information

No smoking, food, drinks, pets, large bags, cameras or photography will be allowed in the Art Show.

All art hung or displayed in the LepreCon 45 Art Show shall be original work or limited run art prints. Hand colored or Unique Process prints are permitted, but they must be identified as such. Only one copy of a print can be hung.

Photoshop manipulated copies of copyrighted photos are not allowed unless you own the copyright. All art must be finished in an appropriate manner. Hung artwork must be framed or matted with a secure hanging device attached.

The Art Show reserves the right to charge $1.00 per piece that we have to attach a hanging device to for appropriate display.

All Art displayed must not be in violation of Copyright laws. The Art Show reserves the right to remove from display any art that violates Copyright, and reserves the right to notify the Copyright holder of the infringement.

All art work must be identified with the Artist's Name and the Title of the Piece, in case bid sheets become separated from the art. Bid sheets need to be securely affixed in such a manner so that identification of the artist and piece is clearly visible, and it is easy for bidders to access and place bids.

There are a limited number of panels and a limited amount of 3D space available. Availability is on a first come, first served basis. All space will be assigned by the Art Show, and may be reorganized only at the Art Show Director's discretion.

The LepreCon 45 Art Show has the right to refuse any art that is deemed inappropriate, pornographic or explicit.

Please remember we are a family friendly convention. Art falling into this category will be removed from the show.

Entry fees for art that has been removed from the show are non-refundable. Rule of Thumb: If the art was a movie and would receive an NC-17 (or worse) rating, it runs the risk of being removed from the show. Please contact the Art Show Director with any questions.

Payments

Checks will be mailed out 30-45 days after close of show. We will make every effort to get the payments into your hands as quickly as possible.

Thank you,
