How much space do I get to exhibit my works?
The entire booth you rented is at your disposal. However, you must stay within the stand space and may not place anything in the aisles.
Can I share my booth with a colleague?
Yes, you can. However, your colleague must also be balloted and some special provisions apply, which you can find here: sharing a stand
Is discounted participation in Art Eindhoven possible?
The organisation for a professional fair like Art Eindhoven with booths with hard walls, lighting per booth, professional promotion and crew, the rent of the Klokgebouw, and so on, simply involves costs. The participating artists' contribution to the costs of Art Eindhoven is as low as possible. Because not all costs are allocated and the help of volunteers reduces costs, the cost is less than 1/3 of the cost of a fair where galleries show their artists.
Members of the National Association of Visual Artists (www.NABK.nl) will receive an additional discount on the participation costs. No further discount is possible. No further discount is possible.
When will I receive the free tickets included in my participation in Art Eindhoven?
You will receive the tickets approximately 1 month (up to 3 weeks at the latest) before the start of Art Eindhoven.
Who decides whether my works are used for publicity?
The organisation decides which works will be placed on the website, posters, entrance tickets and/or in other communications. If images of works are used, the organisation will not charge the artists concerned. Discussion of the organisation's choices is not possible.
Can I sell the exhibited artworks?
Yes, you can. Indeed, that is the intention. You may address passing visitors with the aim of informing them and stimulating their interest in buying. (However, please respect the freedom of visitors: they should have every opportunity to view the exhibited works in peace). You are also welcome to drop off business cards, art cards and leaflets. And furthermore, you can make arrangements for follow-up contacts by e-mail, at the interested parties' homes, at your studio or workshop, or by other ways. We recommend the latter: you can then devote your attention to other interested parties during the fair and later display your works in your studio at your convenience with those interested.
If someone wants to buy my work, how can it be paid for?
That is up to you. Cash on the nail is the most common: the buyer pays you the full purchase price and you hand over the work immediately.
But you can also agree that the buyer makes a down payment and then pays the remaining amount upon delivery of the work. At Art Eindhoven, the organisation has a pin machine. Under pre-specified conditions, the organisation will collect the PINed purchase price for you and then transfer the full purchase price, less administration fees, to your account.
Should I be present at Art Eindhoven itself?
Yes, you are expected to be there yourself. Only in case of illness or another urgent reason can you be represented and you can also leave your works unattended. But it is wise to be with your exhibited works. Then you can explain your work and have the best chance of making sales and follow-up appointments.
Do I have to come and bring and collect my artworks myself?
No, you do not have to. You may allow anyone to bring and collect your works, provided this is done within the times set for delivery and collection. We do recommend that you decorate your stand yourself. After all, then you decide how your works will hang or stand.
When do I have to bring and collect my works?
Participants of Art Eindhoven will receive timely notification of the date and time of installation.
Will my works be insured?
If you indicate when you apply, that you want to insure your works, yes. Insurance terms and conditions apply.
I have made a mistake in my application. How can I fix that?
Send an e-mail to info@arteindhoven.nl and mention that you have already registered and want to change something.
Can I make any changes or additions after receiving confirmation of my participation?
Yes, that is most of the time possible. Send an e-mail to info@arteindhoven.nl and mention that you have already registered and what you want to change.
Can I display (invitation) cards and leaflets in my stand?
To keep the fair orderly and well-organised, the stands are preferably used mainly for exhibition of the artworks. Leaflets and business cards can be placed on a documentation tray provided by the organisation free of charge.
Can I indicate the selling price of my works?
Yes, you may, indeed, we recommend that you indicate the prices (modestly). You may indicate the prices at maximum size 10 (w) x 5 (h) centimetres.
What colour are the walls of the stands?
The (hard) walls of the stands are off-white. This was chosen because most people at home also have more or less white walls in the living room.
Is there covering for the table? If so, what does it look like?
Yes, with a (rented) table you get an even black cover-skirt, which reaches (almost) to the ground on three sides. Only the back remains open (if the table is facing the audience with the long side).
How many visitors are expected?
The publicity is wide-ranging and by engaging a relatively large number of media, the use of posters, leaflets and other information carriers, a relatively large number of visitors are expected.
Besides a lot of positive publicity, the weather has a big impact on the number of visitors. In cold and inclement weather, people prefer to stay at home, and heavy rain and snow also have a negative impact on the number of visitors. Under normal (weather) conditions, the organisation expects over 2,500 art lovers to visit Art Eindhoven.
Why do visitors have to pay for entrance to Art Eindhoven?
An entrance fee selects visitors. Even a small entrance fee makes the difference between passers-by walking in who are not interested in art and art lovers, buyers and collectors who are seriously interested in contemporary art. By the way, participating artists will have the opportunity to let their guests visit Art Eindhoven free of charge.
How do visitors know which artists are participating in Art Eindhoven?
The artists participating in Art Eindhoven are listed on its website.
At the fair itself, all stands bear the artists' names.
And last but not least, participating artists will receive badges bearing their names.
May I be assisted in setting up my stand?
Yes sure, as long as your helper signs in at the reception desk.
How do I attach my artworks in my booth?
Sculptures are to be placed on the floor or on pedestals you bring yourself. For hanging works, perlon wires will be at your disposal. With each perlon wire you get two hooks: with the fixed hook you hang the perlon wire around the top of the stand wall and with the other hook, which is adjustable, you hang the work on the perlon wire. The perlon wires can carry work up to 13 kilos. However, for works heavier than 8 kg, two perlon wires per work are recommended to be on the safe side.
Do I have to pay even if I am on the waiting list?
No, when placed on the waiting list, you do not have to pay any fees.
Can I already sign up for the next Art Eindhoven?
Yes, you can, we refer you to sign up.
