Please note: works previously submitted to any NRAS art sale are not eligible for entry. Prints or giclees are allowed but must be clearly marked as such.
• Works must be priced within the range of $35.00-$399.00. Please keep your prices reasonable to encourage sales. Each artist may also submit one piece to the “Gallery on Stage,” which is devoted exclusively to higher priced paintings over $400.00. In an effort to promote sales of stage pieces, these works will be offered at 10% discount during the Preview Party event only – discount to be shared by NRAS and the artist. All work must be submitted using the enclosed form.
• The fee for artist participation in the sale is $30.00 – includes entry for (1) person at the Preview Party. In addition, for each piece sold, the split will be 70% to NRAS member artists and 30% to NRAS. Non-member artists split will be 50/50. You may become a member online or in person during drop off. Checks will be mailed to artists for total work sold as soon as possible after the sale.
• Artists – Please help us present a professional appearance at this sale. Please bring your work in appropriate crates or bins (no cardboard boxes, laundry baskets, etc.) Presentation is important for sales! Also, to protect your work and frames, please include separators (cardboard, foam core, etc.) between each piece in your crate.
