Registration fees:

There is a $20 entry fee, which includes all the fun paper work, one 6x6 wood cradle board OR 6x6 base for 6x6x6 3D art.  A second board may be purchased for $10. 

Sales:

All artwork is to be for sale, with a 15% commission paid to Homestead for each sale.  The Artists set their own prices, and should keep this commission in mind when setting prices.  For instance, a $50 piece sells and the artist gets 85% or $42.50 of that sale; if the artist needs the full $50 then the price should be set about 19% higher, or $59, of which they will receive $50.50.

How to Enter:

Stop in to Homestead Fine Art Gallery in Berthoud to pick up your art board(s)!  $20 registration includes one board; an additional board may be purchased for $10.

Media – 6x6 PLUS!

As long as you create using the cradleboard that we provide, your imagination is your limit.  Paint, draw, collage, mixed media – as long as it fits the board with no more than a one inch overhang (including frame if used) – OR you have the option of creating a “6x6x6” 3D piece that fits on the 6x6 board we provide, which must not stand over six inches tall and not overhang more than one inch of the 6x6 board.
