7.
Reproduction/publication of artwork: All artists must be willing to participate in publicity or media
stories and agree to the publication or reproduction of their work by IHC at any time to promote
this and future Art Awards for people with intellectual disabilities, without payment of any fee,
royalty or commission.
8. Framing and presentation: Please send artwork framed or mounted. Quality materials as well as
framing or mounting can greatly enhance artworks and their chance of success. For advice about
framing, contact the regional studios.
9. Sale of artwork: All artwork must be available for sale. The sale price artists place on their work for
regional exhibitions will become the reserve or minimum price should their work be selected as a
finalist and go forward for auction in Wellington. One hundred percent of the sale price will be paid
to the artists, if the work is sold at exhibitions or auction.
10. Pricing artworks: Please be realistic when setting sale prices. Finalists need to be aware that their
work may reach a higher price at auction, but this is not guaranteed. Artworks should be priced
depending on the following:
- medium
- size
- complexity
- cost of production (eg framing costs)
- previous sales history
11. Notification to finalists: As soon as each regional judging is over, artists who have been selected as
finalists will be notified. Artists who are not finalists are asked to pick up unsold art as soon as the
exhibition is over. Please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope so we can easily notify you.
Note that art bases that send multiple artworks only need to provide one envelope per group.
12. Event night: The work of the 30 finalists work will be exhibited at the Alpha Art Studio in Wellington
during August. The works will then be displayed and the winners announced on Thursday 28 August
2014 at the Renouf Foyer, Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington. The original artworks must be
available for the night.
13. Risk: All entries are submitted at the sole risk of the artists. IHC accepts no liability for any loss or
damage and shall not be required to provide insurance cover for the entries.
14. Return of artwork: Artists are expected to organise collection of their own artwork. Artworks must
be collected from the regional galleries between 31 July and 1 September. Please note that any
artwork not collected by 1 September will be recycled. Finalists’ artwork not sold at live auction in
Wellington will be returned to the artists.
15. Checklist: Artists must complete the attached Checklist along with the entry form and attach both
to the artwork – this will ensure you have submitted an eligible application for the Art Awards. It
would help if could also attach a photograph of the artwork to the entry form in case the form
becomes separated from the work.
