Participating in the 2011 Holiday Sale
Greetings,
We’re seeking work for the Holiday Sale.
Members of the BookWorks Co-op, the Ladies of Letterpress and local Asheville Artists working in Letterpress, Print and Book Arts are invited to participate in the 2011 BookWorks Holiday Show and Sale. For the month of December, we’ll transform the BookWorks Gallery into a shopping destination for handmade cards, books, and gift items. Each participant will be responsible for all labeling, display (shelves, boxes or containers), and completing an inventory sheet provided by e-mail (see attached consignment form). The amount of space will depend on how many people we have to accommodate. BookWorks will retain 40% of sale, providing marketing, advertising and a reception for the Holiday Show and Sale. Please note:
- A label should be on each item and include retail price and the seller’s initials.
- Consider your setup, BookWorks doesn’t have a card rack. Retail items are displayed on shelves and should be in boxes provided by the artist, for example, file-like boxes that people can flip though. Boxes or display containers can be handmade, personalized or purchased. There is plenty of wall space to display small framed pieces or broadsides too.
- Show and Sale dates: Dec. 1 – 31, 2011. Reception: December 3, 1 – 5pm, hot cider and sweets.
- Receiving Work: Send or deliver work by Nov. 29, 2011
- Pick up dates: Jan. 2 – 4, 2012 – Cards and gifts that aren’t holiday specific, can remain for sale in our retail area after the Holiday Show.
Please let BookWorks know by November 1, 2011 if you would like to participate by emailing gallery@ashevillebookworks.com or by calling 828-255-8444.
