Art Sales: The Forney Arts Council will NOT be taking a commission on artwork sales. Artists are responsible for their own sales and should plan to have someone with their artwork during all hours of the show. There is no WiFi so we encourage artists to use their phone as a hotspot. Artists may also sell prints in addition to their featured artwork.
Hanging Instructions: Artists will be able to display art on the building walls (approx. 10’x10’) using small finishing nails. There will be a limited amount of counter space and bookshelves for 3D artworks available on a first-come first-serve basis. We also have a few art panels but recommend artists bring their own art panels/easels/tables as a backup. Participating artists are welcome to leave their artwork on display overnight, but please note the FAC is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged artwork.
