Registrar: Irene Jenkins. Contact at irenej@ihot.com or 408-739-9435.
REGISTRATION/FEES/CANCELLATIONS: The show is open to all current OVCAG members on a first-come-first-served basis. The entry fee is $50 if the application is received by April 20, 2004, and $60.00 after April 20th. Two artists may share a booth, with each artist paying $30 before April 20, and $35 thereafter. We need to know if we have a viable sale by April 20, and before funds are committed for advertising, etc. Please show your enthusiasm by registering early! After May 7, 2004, entry fees will only be refunded if the artist replaces him/herself in the sale. If weather or circumstances beyond OVCAG's control cause the event to be cancelled, OVCAG will refund each exhibitor's share of the fees after deducting nonrefundable expenses incurred by OVCAG.
Mail signed Application and Release form and check (payable to OVCAG) to Irene Jenkins, 834 The Dalles Ave., Sunnyvale, CA 94087. If you do not have e-mail, include a SASE for confirmation and booth number. Applications that are not signed or are without a check will be returned.
CANOPIES AND TABLES: Booth spaces are 10'x10'. If requested, OVCAG will arrange for the rental of canopies and tables at a nominal charge to the exhibitor. There are no shady spots at this site. Your own booth and/or display equipment may be used. If you need rental items, you MUST request them with your application form. Changes to your rental order must be received by May 7, 2004.
LOGISTICS: Set up begins at 7:30 am. All booths must be set up by 9:30 am, and all cars removed to the Exhibitors' parking area. Exhibitors may not begin to pack and move out until the show closes. Artists are responsible for staffing their own spaces, pricing and selling their work, writing up "tickets" (which the customer will take to central Cashier), and wrapping the work after the customer had paid. Sales tax will be added by the cashier and should not be included in your prices. (Taxes will be collected and paid by OVCAG). The Guild has set up an account for credit card processing, and will collect a 15% commission on all work sold during the day. The dominant items for sale must be handmade by the artist and of silica clay.
SALE JOBS: Every exhibitor must sign up to help with the sale. There are pre-sale, during-sale, and post-sale jobs to be done. You can also invite a friend to fill a day-of-sale job slot. Two hours minimum are required. More detailed information is on the application form.
