DISPLAYS
The terrace room set-up is not your typical art sale set-up. We will be incorporating both exhibition style and art sale set-up utilizing Gardiner and FUSION furniture including tables, plinths etc. The artist is responsible for delivering the works at the beginning of the Show and packing up their artwork at the end of the Show. FUSION and the Gardiner team will guide the Artists for set-up as a floor plan will be made.

FUSION and the Gardiner Museum will provide all wrapping and marketing for the event. Artists are asked to take shifts at the cash area to help process and pack work sold. We also ask artists to use their own social media and email channels to help promote the show.
FUSION reserves the right to use the images and promotional material submitted by exhibitors and any photographs taken at the show for promotional purposes without notice or payment to the exhibitor.
To maintain the integrity of the show, signs offering pricing discounts, reduced prices, show specials or other signs of this nature are not permitted.
