Gallery Guidelines

1)    The value of an artist’s work is determined by the artist.  However, the price on the work should be consistent with the price you charge in other shows or galleries.  All work sold by the Gallery is on a consignment basis with a commission standard of 40% to Tamarack and 60% to the artist.  Exceedingly high pricing to discourage sale of your work is unacceptable and may prevent your work from being exhibited.

2)    Work in exhibits must be originals (no reproductions).

Two-Dimensional Work

1.    All two-dimensional work must be delivered ready to hang.

2.    Unacceptable materials that sometimes appear in two-dimensional presentations include saw tooth hangers, duct tape, corrugated cardboard backing, string or cord. 

3.    Proper materials in excellent condition must be employed.  Some common problems are frames with corners that do not meet, improperly attached wires, eyebolts without wiring, spring clips that are not firmly installed, dirty or smudged mats, improperly cut mats, debris between the glazing material and art.

4.    Less frequently encountered, but equally troublesome, are paintings that are still wet, works that have fallen from their mats, and works framed to hang upside down.

5.    Frames must be of quality equivalent to the price charged.  The value of the frame should reflect the value of the work it is protecting.  Frames should be the same or complementary to the grouping of your work.  This includes the type of frame and color.
