General Guidelines All Items

All rack items will be packaged by the artist in crystal clear (crisp) polypropylene bags that seal. The presentation needs to be professional.  The bins and card rack will be first come, first serve.  All requirements must be met.

 

  • The Print/Original Bins may be used by any SVAL member.  
  • Wall Artists are also eligible to display prints, unframed originals, and cards in the Gallery.
  • Studio Artists are not eligible to display prints, unframed originals, and cards in the Gallery.
  • All merchandise will be inventoried on the web-based platform for sales.  The artist will be responsible for providing the following:
    • Photograph of your print, original artwork, book cover, or card
    • Details of the merchandise
    • Artist
    • Title (inventory identifier)
    • Medium (art medium/print/book/card)
    • Edition (#/total if it applies)
    • Size (with and without mat if indicated)
    • Price
  • The above information should be displayed clearly inside the clear bag and on the back, outside of the clear bag. Once the information has been entered into the system, you will receive a “pdf” label file that you can then print. Or you may use your preferred labels but the appropriate SKU number must be on it.  One source for bags is clearbags.com.
  • Cards, Prints and Original Art may be displayed in the racks/bins and must look professional.  Cards must have an envelope.  Prints should have a float mounted foam core.  Originals should be matted (if indicated) and backed with white mat board or foam core board to protect the artwork. If the original artwork does not have a mat, it should be float mounted to foam core.
  • Including artist contact information, like a business card, inside the packet is recommended.
  • SVAL retains a 20% commission on items sold.
  • Notification of sale will occur by email from the ArtCloud system.
  • All risk is assumed by the artist.
  • Discrepancies in inventory cannot be accounted for by the league.
  • Artist assumes all risk for loss of inventory including damage, theft, and wear on packaging.
  • If the maximum number of artwork or size limitation is exceeded, you will be notified to rectify this problem.  If this occurs on more than one occasion, you will be asked to remove your work from the gallery for at least six months.  
  • Artists will receive a commission check monthly.
  • Once the maximum of prints/originals and cards that the bins and rack can reasonably hold is reached in the gallery, a waiting list will be established for Member participation.  We do not have space to store additional prints, originals or cards in the Gallery. 

CARDS - Rack Guidelines

  • A SVAL member may have up to 12 cards or card packs in stock. As many as possible will be on the rack. The Red House Gallery does not have sufficient space to store additional prints.  
  • Cards may be reproduction prints or original hand-crafted cards. Card dimensions should not exceed 7 inches in any direction.
  • Cards must be priced at a minimum of $5.00. If an artist has lower priced cards, they should package two or three together and charge appropriately.
  • All cards must be accompanied by envelopes.

Original and REPRODUCTION PRINTS - bin guidelines

  • A SVAL member may have a maximum of 8 prints and/or originals for the bins. As many as possible will be on display. The Red House Gallery does not have sufficient space to store additional prints.  
  • Print/Mat dimension should not exceed 24 inches in any direction.
  • Prints may not be priced below $25.
  • Originals” refers to unframed painted pieces, such as watercolors, that are typically presented with a mat. Drawings, fine art prints such as lithographs and woodcuts, flat mixed media or collage work, small flat fiber pieces, and photographic prints are examples of this category of work. Pastels should be sealed with an optical acrylic sheet to avoid damage through routine handling.  
  • Originals should not exceed 24 inches in width and height and ¼” in depth.
  • Originals may not be priced below $50.
