Art Fair on the Square 2012, Madison, WI Agreement

Rules



Art Fair on the Square is open to all artists 18 years of age or older.



All exhibited work must be original in concept and must have been created by the accepted applicant. No work made with commercial kits, molds, patterns, plans, stencils, or prefabricated forms may be exhibited. Offset reproductions of original art may be sold, but must not comprise more than 20% of exhibited work or occupy more than 20% of a booth space.



Each exhibitor’s work will be screened by Art Fair jurors during Art Fair. Artists whose work does not comply with the rules, or differs from the slides submitted, will be asked to leave. The judgment of the jury will be final, and no refunds will be given.



Artists must be present to exhibit and manage their displays during the Art Fair. Artists are limited to the booth space(s) they were assigned; booth spaces are non-transferable. Any artist who has not been juried into Art Fair, or has not paid the jury and booth fees, will not be allowed to exhibit.



All sales will be conducted between the artist and the purchaser. Participating artists must obtain a State of Wisconsin seller’s permit prior to the fair and must collect and pay Wisconsin sales tax (5.5%) on all sales made during the fair. Accepted artists will not be permitted to exhibit until this permit number has been recorded.



All artists must adhere to City and Capitol Police guidelines regarding booth display. Noncompliance will result in citations and fines and will prevent exhibition. City and Capitol Police regulations will be provided to all accepted artists. Artists responsible for damages to City or State grounds will be held liable.



The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art retains the right to expel artists or deem them ineligible for awards if they fail to comply with the rules stated above.
