ART DROP-OFF

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS!
The art drop-off and volunteer confirmation for MULTIPLE ORIGAMI is Wednesday, JUNE
11 from 6-7:30 PM at University of Phoenix in ROOM 102.

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 MULTIPLE ORIGAMI 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.

If someone else is dropping off your work, they will need to sign the artist need
to know form for you and confirm your volunteer shift(s) too.

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

WHAT TO DO:

Enter venue and check in. You will check in, show that your artwork is ready to
hang, sign the artist need to know form, drop off your food and beverage contributions,
and confirm your volunteer shifts. This is kinda like an assembly line and you
will be checking in with various people. (order may vary slightly)

1. ENTER VENUE
2. DROP OFF FOOD AND BEVERAGE CONTRIBUTION
3. TAKE ART TO ROOM 102
4. CHECK WITH INSTALLATION CHAIR / CURATOR to make sure your work is ready to hang
and labeled. Set work in room.

5. CHECK IN: Tell us your name and we'll check you off and make sure that you have
paid. Please do not leave without checking in!!!!!!!!
6. ARTIST NEED TO KNOW FORM: 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 beforehand: http://untitlednashville.org/pages/ArtistNeedtoKnow.htm
No need to print this.
7. VOLUNTEER CONFIRMATION: All exhibiting artists (and non-exhibiting artists,
too) are encouraged to volunteer their time to help install the show (bring tools
and drills!), 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:
http://untitlednashville.org/pages/volunteer.htm

WHAT TO BRING:
1. YOUR WORK
Your work 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.

2. ARTIST STATEMENT / BIO / BUSINESS CARDS

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.

3. FOOD AND DRINK
For our guests - Please plan to bring at least a bottle of wine or other drink (water/soda)
and if possible, bring a non-perishable snack.

If you forget to bring something on Wednesday you can still bring something Friday
night. We'll remind you.
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
- Take your work home. Please make arrangements for someone to take your work home
at 10pm if you cannot be there.
IF YOUR WORKS 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. Make sure
your art picker-upper knows this!
