Please read all the information and rules carefully

1. Artwork entered must be the artist's original work on a theme that will appeal to practitioners of Pagan/Nature based spiritual paths.  Diverse techniques are encouraged; this is not your grandmother’s art show!
2. When judging art, artwork that is plagiaristic or has libelous content concerning known persons and/or well-known characters will not be accepted.
3. Magickal Winter Weekend reserves the right to refuse any entry.  The decisions of the Art Gallery Director are final.
4. Once a piece has been entered into the Art Gallery, it may not be withdrawn nor may the conditions of sale be altered except in exceptional circumstances.  Additional pieces may not be entered to replace the sold items.  All work must be displayed until the close of the Art Show.
5. Reproductions (prints) by the artist of his/her own work may be displayed.  You may display only one copy of each print. 
6. Space must be reserved and all fees paid in advance.  Your space is not definite until we have received your completed reservation form, release form and payment.
7. Magickal Winter Weekend collects a 10% commission on all Art Gallery sales.  Your display fees will be credited towards our commission on your sales.
8. Display Space:  Display units are 4' x 4' panels at $10 a panel, and 4' x 1½' table spaces at $10 each.  There is a maximum amount of three (3) panels and/or table units per artist unless additional space is available.  Artists may indicate a desire for additional space when they send in this registration.  Additional space availability will be determined after 1/31/06.  Freestanding artwork may be entered subject to space availability and its display fees will depend on its size.
9. Artists may choose to share panels.
10. Artists are encouraged to post a small sign indicating where their work may be found the rest of the year: website, shop, gallery, etc.
11. Oregon law mandates that fine art prints (such as, but not limited to, engravings, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, monoprints or serigraphs) need to have the following information attached:
12. Name of artist; year printed; nature of edition such as artist's proof, limited, remarked, etc.; number of impressions (both signed and unsigned, numbered and unnumbered); and the status of the plate (still in use/destroyed).
13. All artwork (where feasible) must be labeled with title and price and artist's name and address.  Titles and prices must match the information on the control sheets.  This is to prevent confusion if the bid sheet becomes separated from the artwork (a not-uncommon occurrence) and for the purchaser's information.
14. Resale of works from collections will be permitted on a limited basis.  Prior permission is necessary.  These items are not eligible for Art Gallery awards.
15. All artwork entered must be ready for display.  Two-dimensional work should be matted, framed, or mounted in some way to permit hanging on pegboard.  Oils, etc. must be thoroughly dry; pastels, charcoals, etc. should be appropriately sealed or protected.  Three-dimensional work must come with appropriate supports or cases for display on tabletop.  It is highly recommended that, if you intend to enter small fragile artwork such as delicate jewelry or miniatures, you provide a sturdy, secure display case for your pieces.  Please indicate on the reservation form if you have unusual display needs—special lighting, electricity, floor space, etc.
16. Artwork may be entered as either For-Sale (minimum bid and/or direct sale) or Not-For-Sale (NFS).  Works for sale must have minimum bid marked (whole dollars only please) or the Minimum Bid space crossed out if the piece is for Direct Sale only.  Alternately, if the piece is for bid/auction only, please cross out the Direct Sale space. There are No Direct Sales on Friday due to Artists’ set-up.  Minimum bid is the lowest selling price for your art piece.
17. Magickal Winter Weekend does not provide insurance.  Security is provided in Art Gallery by staff during the day and security guards during the hours the Art Gallery is closed.
18. All artwork must be hung by 9 p.m. on Friday unless you have made prior arrangements.  If you do not have a convention membership, you may need to obtain a delivery pass from registration to bring your artwork into the Art Gallery.
19. Pick-up of unsold artwork starts on Sunday at 2:00 and must be completed by 5 p.m.  If you are unable to pick-up your artwork during this period, you need to make prior arrangements with the Art Gallery Director.
20. Any artwork left after 5 p.m. on Sunday will be considered abandoned and becomes the property of Magickal Winter Weekend.
21. Payment will be made by check mailed within twenty-one days after the close of the convention.  There will be no payments made at the convention.
22. There is no photography permitted in the Art Gallery without your expressed permission.  Indicate on the Registration Form if you wish to allow credited press photography of your artwork.
23. There is no smoking at Magickal Winter Weekend. This includes the Art Gallery. Food and drink will not be allowed past the Art Gallery control desk.  A bag check will be placed at the Control Table at the Art Gallery entrance for Purses, totes and bulky items.
