TERMS FOR SALES & EXHIBITING

  • You do not need to sell your work, but if you do, here’s the basic breakdown:
  • We will take a 40% commission on work sold And we’ll use that money to keep funding Launch Pad in 2012
  • You are showing your work at your own risk. While we will handle your work with the highest degree of care, Launch Pad is in a shared community warehouse housing many businesses and we cannot control access. Theft hasn’t been a problem there or at any past Love show, but it’s always a possibility. Neither Launch Pad nor the other businesses in the Egg accept liability for loss, theft or damage.
  • Artists will be paid within 30 days of the CLOSE of the show, if not sooner. (I will personally strive to pay everyone ASAP, as I know we all need the money)
  • You MUST pick up your piece at the end of the show.. Failure to pick up your work by March 11th will result in permanent forfeiture of your work and blacklisting from future shows. All artwork remaining after February 28th will be available for pick up at our convenience.

BENEFIT INFO

We are partnering once again with a worthy cause to try and use our collective might to do some good!

We’re collecting cans of food for the Oregon Food Bank at the opening and for the duration of the show. Tell your friends, tell your boss, tell your grocery store… Let’s feed some hungry folks together- you never know, the people who benefit from the food bank are often closer to you than you think.
