LTUE is happy to announce the return of an art show to the symposium in 2019! If you have any questions about the Art Show, feel free to contact us at vendors@ltue.net.
Open Submissions
Submissions for LTUE 2020 are OPEN through February 9thth.
There is no cost to include works/prints in the Art Show, but there will be a 15% commission for LTUE on all works purchased (the commission covers sales tax).
Our open submissions section is open to anyone 14+ years old. This will be a juried show but there is no fee to submit (we don’t think you should pay us to look at your work).
Rules
*Please note that acceptance into the art show as an exhibitor does not include a membership to the symposium.
- Any copyright, licensing, and/or other legal concerns with fictional or non-fictional characters are the responsibility of the individual artist. By submitting art to the Life, the Universe, and Everything Art Show, you are stating that the work is your original, non-derivative work and that the work does not violate any copyright, licensing, and/or other domestic and/or international laws.
- Art work should relate to fantasy, science fiction, or the gaming industry. As a family-friendly show, please do not submit art pieces with the bared body parts used in the creation or nurturing of life. We reserve the right reject any piece for any reason.
- Artists chosen for the art show may sell prints.
- Pieces may be sold by set price, by silent auction bidding, or (for original pieces) be marked not for sale.
- Art will remain in the art show for the entire three days of the symposium (February 14-16).
- Print Shop items are priced as marked and are available for immediate purchase.
Photography and Filming of Art
No photography or video recording of any kind is permitted in the Art Show unless explicitly cleared by the artist and/or rights holder and Art Show staff. The artist or agent must be present or have indicated in writing that news media filming and photography is acceptable.
Selling in the Art Show
There is no cost to include prints in the Art Show, but there will be a 15% commission for LTUE on all works purchased. Prints will need to be priced, signed and numbered. Prints will be priced as marked and will be available for immediate purchase. As space for Prints will be limited, LTUE reserves the right to rearrange items during the show to make sure all items are displayed. We may also restrict the amount of space used by any artist depending on the number of items in the Print area.
All artists in the art show may sell prints (prints must be provided by artist). We will collect all payments including sales tax. There will be 15% commission to cover credit card fees, sales tax, and to go toward next year’s art show.
Art Show Set Up
Initial set up will begin at the hotel on Wednesday evening. The art show room will open at 8:00am on Thursday to continue checking in and hanging art. Display art and Prints must be checked in by the artist or agent with the art show staff, and be listed on an appropriate control sheet.
Art Pick Up and Checkout
Those who have purchased art from the art show may pick it up beginning at 5:00pm on Saturday.
Break down and pick up of art by artist will start at 5:30pm. All art must be picked up by 7pm on Saturday. Please email us at vendors@ltue.net if you are going to need different times than these so we can make those arrangements in advance.
Art must be checked out with the art show staff for record keeping. We will not release art to anyone not authorized to receive it.
Artist commission checks will be mailed, generally within 8 weeks of the end of the symposium. Checks will be made out to the artist unless otherwise instructed on the registration form.
