We request that artists or their representatives be present at the gallery during the exhibition to sell and market their work. The Gallery may accommodate sales on behalf of the artist for an additional commission upon request.

The artist is responsible for installing, marketing and maintaining their inventory and displays. Any artist who leaves their work unattended without notifying the gallery will forfeit their space and have their artwork removed.

The gallery requests that artists bring their own hanging / display supplies (i.e hammers, nails, hooks, wire, stands, frames, levelers, small displays or tables, etc). Please note that large screws or anchors are not permitted, only small or standard sized nails and hanging hooks allowed.

The gallery gladly accepts CASH / CREDIT CARDS for all sales.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS or EXCHANGES ALLOWED.

The gallery is responsible for collecting money from all artist sales at the front desk and will issue receipts to the buyer and seller.  Artist sales tallies and payments will be made at the end of the event period.

There are NO LIMITATIONS on price, quantity, medium or size of the work as long as the work(s) fit within the artist's allocated ‘booth’ space.

The gallery strongly suggests that the artist bring a typed price list along with any other promotional material (such as business cards or postcards) to promote their work.

All artists must sign a WAIVER that acknowledges Lyons Wier Gallery is not responsible for any artwork transported to/from the gallery and for any damage, loss, theft occurring at/from the premises.

The artist acknowledges that Lyons Wier Gallery has the rights to their "likeness" or image as it broadcasts live feeds, video and webcasts on ArtBazaar.tv and other outlets during the exhibition.

If you have acquired a space in the Artisanal Bazaar and you have your own website, Lyons Wier Gallery will gladly post a link to your site on www.ArtBazaar.tv for the duration of the event.
