Presentation
Upon accepting the opportunity to exhibit in the gallery, you are required to make your work professional and suitable for the theme of the show.
The final decision on whether or not your work will be exhibited is at the sole discretion of Tamarack.

Labeling
The back of every piece of artwork MUST include:

1)  The name of the artist.

2)  Title of the work.

3)  Retail price in a legible location.

Acceptable Work, Pricing, and Commission (ALL WORK MUST BE FOR SALE)

1)      The value of an artist’s work is determined by the artist.  However, the price on the work should be the same no matter where the work is displayed.  All work sold by the David L. Dickerson Gallery is on a consignment basis with a commission standard of 42% to Tamarack and 58% to the artist.  Exceedingly high pricing to discourage sale of your work is unacceptable and will prevent work from being exhibited.

2)      Work in exhibits must be originals (no reproductions).

3)      Work must have been completed within the last two years.

4)      Only work that has not been in a previous exhibit at Tamarack will be accepted.

Two-Dimensional Work

1)      All two-dimensional work must be delivered ready to hang.

2)      Unacceptable materials that sometimes appear in two-dimensional presentations include sawtooth hangers, duct tape, corrugated cardboard backing, string or cord.

3)      Proper materials in excellent condition must be employed.  Some common problems are frames with corners that do not meet, improperly attached wires, eyebolts without wiring, spring clips that are not firmly installed, dirty or smudged mats, and debris between the glazing material and art.

4)      Less frequently encountered but equally troublesome is paintings that are still wet, works that have fallen from their mats, and works framed upside down.

5)      Frames must be of quality equivalent to the price charged.  Frames must be the same or compliment each other for grouping of your work. How your work is framed plays a large part in the presentation.

Reception
The opening reception gives the public a chance to meet the artists, generates press coverage, and helps market your work.  It is important as a professional artist that you attend this event.

Delivery and Pick up
Tamarack’s extensive hours make it necessary to make arrangements with the Gallery staff to drop off work. It is the responsibility of the artist to get their work to, and picked up from Tamarack.
Due to limited storage space, the Gallery is unable to save packing materials.

Shipping Policy 

It should be noted that we strongly encourage the artist to make pick up arrangements as to avoid shipping costs.

If an artist is not able to pick up work a UPS call tag must be sent to Tamarack. The call tag must include insurance as Tamarack does not send any item without insuring. In addition to the call tag purchase, Tamarack will charge the artist a separate packaging fee. It will be charged regardless if we reuse the box it came in because it is repacked professionally.  This charge cannot be estimated until the package has been weighed, valued and the location is assigned for shipment. We will call and inform the artist of this charge. It should be noted that Tamarack does not make any profit from these charges. Charges are made based on what Tamarack is charged from UPS and outside packaging professionals. We package professionally to protect work from any possible damage. 

If the artist does not issue a UPS call tag, Tamarack will inform the artist of shipping and packaging cost.
