PRICING YOUR ART FOR RESALE: Please DO NOT leave this until delivery day!

Price items between $15.00 and $2500.

Do your homework! Look online for resale prices of work by that artist, if applicable. You will not get back what you paid for it, in most cases. Ask your friends what they would pay. Larger pieces usually sell for more than smaller ones. Original art will bring more than a print in general, unless the print is very appealing or from a well-known artist. Use your knowledge of other resale experiences.  Work with a group of others entering the sale and make collaborative decisions on prices. We will ask you if it is a print or an original.

REGISTRATION: (10 pieces limit.  Original art by artist, 5 only. An artist may add other entries to reach the 10 if they are not their own art. ) Registration is done at the Courthouse: entry forms may be done ahead of time by printing them off the site.  Payment is taken at the same time as the consigned pieces are delivered.  That ensures accuracy of consignment pieces.

Early Bird registration: $5 per artwork The Early Bird drop off: Tues. May 24, 11:00 – 2:00 at the Old Courthouse, 7 Seymour St. West, Kamloops. The early bird registration guarantees 5 artwork(s) will be displayed on the first day of the sale. Art sold is removed immediately, so in the event there are more pieces than spaces, they will be displayed on a “first come, first served basis”. Having said that, our display area is very large! As pieces sell and space becomes available, new ones will be displayed.

Regular Registration: $2 per artwork.

Drop off: Wednesday, May 25, 10am – 3pm, 5– 7pm. Old Courthouse, 7 Seymour St. West, Kamloops.
