PLEASE READ ALL OF THE INFORMATION BELOW!!!

ART DROP-OFF

The art drop-off and volunteer confirmation for ACTIVE INGREDIENT is Wednesday, March 12 from 6-7:30 PM at LIMELIGHT NASHVILLE.

Drop-off/confirmation takes about 15 minutes. Come any time between 6 and 7:30pm. Late work will not be accepted.

If you registered for Active Ingredient and decided later not to participate, please email Info@untitlednashville.org to let us know your change in plans. Otherwise we'll worry about you. And call you. And then worry some more.

Here's what to bring to and be prepared for at the drop-off:

1) Enter venue and check in. You will check in your artwork, show that it is ready to hang, sign the artist need to know form, and confirm your volunteer shifts. This is kinda like an assembly line and you will be checking in with various people.

2) Bring your work, which must be dry and ready to hang (wired, or with other appropriate hanging hardware). PLEASE BE SURE YOUR NAME AND THE TITLE OF YOUR PIECE ARE ON THE BACK. If your work is not properly prepared for hanging, it will not be shown. Please check in with the curator or installation chair to confirm that your work is ready to hang.

Please see our handy dandy "ready to hang" guide on our website: http://untitlednashville.org/pages/readytohang.htm

questions? email us.

3) Optional: A one-page bio and/or artist's statement. Untitled maintains a book of bios and artists' statements for patrons to review during our shows. If you would like your information included in the book, please bring a single page with you to the drop-off. Here's an article on writing an artist's statement to help you get started:

You may also bring your small promotional materials to place on our sales and information table - ie: business cards, postcards, bookmarks, pins, stickers, etc. You may bring these to the drop-off or to the show.

4) At drop-off you will sign our artist need to know form. This form contains important information about showing with Untitled.

Feel free to read this and/or print it out beforehand: http://untitlednashville.org/pages/ArtistNeedtoKnow.htm

5) VOLUNTEER CONFIRMATION: All exhibiting artists (and non-exhibiting artists, too) are encouraged to volunteer their time to help install the show, host the event, and uninstall the show. Please let us know what you can do to help. The volunteer schedule will be finalized at the drop-off. Your help is always needed & appreciated. We love volunteers!

VOLUNTEER GUIDE:

6) NO FOOD AND DRINK THIS TIME FOLKS.

We will not need you to bring food/drink items because the venue is a

bar/restaurant. Limelight has a full menu and bar. Sweet!

NIGHT OF SHOW

CHECK IN

When you arrive at the show, please check in at the sales and information table.

Here you will pick up your artist badge to wear & confirm your volunteer shift. Please try to arrive at least 5 minutes prior to your volunteer shift.

It is important that you check in so that if we need to contact you we know that you are available. This is especially helpful when someone is interested in purchasing your work!

IF YOU LEAVE and return later:

- Check out at the sales table to let us know you have stepped out.

- Check in again when you return.

END OF NIGHT - 10pm

- Return your badge

- Take your work home. Please make arrangements for someone to take your work home at 10pm if you cannot be there.

If your work sells: YAY! Then you are responsible for making sure it gets to your buyer. Check your titleblock throughout the night. If you see a red dot...come to the sales table.

UNTITLED IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WORK LEFT AT THE VENUE!!!!

If your work sells, it is your responsibility to make arrangements with the buyer if the buyer cannot take it home that evening. If someone else is taking your work home and your work is sold, that person is then responsible for communicating with the sales table and buyer.
