ABOUT OUR SHOWS:

Our artists display representational art and sculpture that supports our Western Canadaian theme.
 
The artist fee for being in one of our shows varies but may be as much as $500.

Our shows are designed to present a professional gallery-setting and appearance.

Seven-foot-high ProPanel walls are used exclusively; art mounting equipment and overhead LED lighting are provided. Each artist will be provided approximately 32 feet of linear wall space on which to hang their art.

Artists are expected to be present at all times during the show opening hours.
 
A specified percentage (usually 25%) of all art sales will be donated, by the artist, to the charity or charities that we partner with at any particular show.

ADJUDICATION and our FEATURED ARTIST PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT:

It is the artist's  responsibility to apply for each show they are interested in.

If you have previously been in one of our art shows and wish to apply for the next show, simply press this link  and apply by email; your name will then be on our list of applicants for that show only.

For shows where we have more artists applying than we have  show-space to accommodate them all, we will use an adjudication process.  Three months prior to an oversubscribed show, we will adjudicate all applicants for that show in order to select the featured artists for that show.

Three months prior to each show, the selected featured artists will receive, by email, our invitation in the form of a Featured Artist Participant Agreement. Once the selected featured artist has read that agreement, we consider the receipt of a deposit from the artist to be their acceptance of the terms of the aforementioned agreement. The balance of the Artist Participant Agreement entry fee will be collected a week before the show.


An invitation, from us, to become a Featured Artist in a specific edition of the West Fine Art Show is a limited invitation to that specific show only and does not confer membership in the West Fine Art Show Society nor any ongoing priority or right to be in any subsequent West Fine Art Show.
