Artist Agreement
TERMS OF AGREEMENT & WAIVER
AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY
No canopies over 10×10 are allowed. For mailed in Artist Applications, photos of your artwork will not be returned. Submitted images of Artists’ work may be used on the Gresham Art Walk web site or may be used in our advertising efforts. One Artist per booth is permitted. No sharing of booth space is allowed. Artisans must be present at their booth space or have a designated representative, whose name has been submitted on the attached application. Artisans must furnish their own table, canopy or other materials needed for their space. A $50.00 fee will be charged on any check returned by the artisan’s bank.
The artisan’s booth must be open and staffed during the Art Walk hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Artisans must be set up by 8:30 a.m. the day of the Art Walk. No tear down of booth before 5pm. All exhibits must be removed by 7 p.m. Streets must reopen by 8 p.m. All loading and unloading must be planned around these hours. Vehicles must be moved to the exhibitor parking lots before the show begins. Artisans will abide by all local fire and police regulations and/or decisions. Any vehicle remaining in the show area or fire lanes during Art Walk hours will be towed away at the owner’s expense. Nothing shall be nailed, stapled or otherwise affixed to the curb or street. Each artisan is responsible for insurance coverage on his or her booth and its contents. Each Artist of the Gresham Art Walk agrees to the standard event waiver and release of liability, which can be found below.
The Art Walk is a juried event. Spaces are limited and placement will be based on both the choice of the jury and on a first come, first served basis in each particular medium. If you are accepted as a participant, you will be notified by telephone or e-mail, depending on the way in which you originally applied, within 3-4 weeks. By applying to the Gresham Art Walk you are agreeing to receive notices from us via email and while “unsubscribing” is always an option, this is the primary communication tool the Art Walk uses and because of this, if you unsubscribe you may miss important updates about our event.
The $90 exhibit fee will be due upon notification of acceptance and instruction will be provided if you would like to pay online by credit card. Your fee includes your assigned 10×10 space and publicity for the Art Walk. Because of liability, no artists’ pets are allowed in or around artist booths.
Each Artist of the Gresham Art Walk Agrees to the below waiver and release of liability. This is agreed to when submitting the application. Any artist that does not select the “agree to these terms” checkbox on the online artist application is NOT allowed to submit their information.
