Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does all of the work submitted go on display at the event?
A. Yes. Night of 1,000 Drawings is a non-juried event. Up to two works by any individual artist will be displayed.
Q. Should my work be framed?
A. No. Work should be submitted unframed, as it is quite difficult for us to display work submitted with framing in place. Please DO NOT submit framed work.
Q. Can I pick up my unsold work up after the event?
A. No. If you wish to have unsold work returned to you, you MUST submit a self-addressed stamped envelope with your drawings. Please be sure the envelope is the correct size and has the proper postage.
Q. How will the work be displayed?
A. The work will be clipped to laundry-line style cords that will run through much of the gallery.
Q. Writing my contact information on the back of my work will damage it. What should I do?
A. Please attach your contact information to the work by means of some non-damaging adhesive tape such as drafting tape or a tab with your info on it. We ask that you do not use Post-It notes to attach your information onto your work, as Post-Its can and do fall off during the transport/hanging of the work.
Q. How are drawings priced?
A. Drawings are priced at $50 (up to 8x10 inches) and $100 (8x10 inches and larger)
