River Tree Arts will process all sales, but will not take a percentage of the sale. If an artist’s work sells through the show we encourage, but do not require, a suggested minimum donation of $15. This helps cover payment and processing costs associated with the sale.
-
If a piece sells through the show the artist’s payment will be available for pickup by late June/early July. Artists will be notified at the end of the show regarding the sale status of their piece(s).

-
Participating artist's work will be photographed and images will be used publicity for social media, as well as on the River Tree Arts and River Tree Galleries websites. If a participating artist shared social media and website details that information will also be shared publicly/online (this excludes email and phone numbers).
Hanging Requirements
Our volunteer installation team handles submissions with great care. Please make sure that your work is properly prepared for presentation.
-
Art to be hung on the wall must have a hanging system that is in working order: Wire, sawtooth hanging hardware, D-rings, or similar, which is securely anchored into the frame and can handle the weight of the piece. We cannot guarantee the safety of submissions having cardboard backs with a foldable hanging feature, adhesive backed hangers, or any other aspect of the presentation feature which is unstable. If we are unable to safely display a piece it may be excluded from the exhibit.
-
All artwork must be completely dry and ready prior to drop-off.
-
Regarding jewelry, ceramics, sculptures, etc: Our presentation fixtures are limited - artists are welcome to submit their own if they choose. If artists choose to provide a display please ensure it is labeled with your contact details, the title/description of the item it will display, and whether it accompanies the art when sold.
-
All works must be labeled on the back, left corner - containing the artist's name, the work's title, media, dimensions and price (price not applicable for fundraiser events).
