Can I have prints to sell at the show?
Yes. We will have a print bin next to the table. All prints will go

How do I prepare my prints?
Be sure your prints are made rigid with cardboard at the back
and wrapped in cellophane. Put a sticky label at the back with
your name, title, size, and the price. Remember that they will be
handled often; therefore, they have to be protected. Prints that
become dirty will not sell.

         is stretched. The staples should be on the back
         of the canvas rather than the side so they will
         not be visible when your artwork is hung.
