If I can't find the answer to a question that I have concerning the exhibition, what should I do?
If you just can't see yourself contributing a piece, perhaps you would like to volunteer your time to help put on the show. Contact us and we would be pleased to discuss our requirements.
We are also hoping to see a great turnout for the exhibition and auction. Who knows, if the price is right, perhaps you will get a work of art for yourself and/or a friend!
The registration fee, however, is a different story. There are costs associated to put on a show such as this and NorVA will be making commitments of the number registered. So, sorry, the registration fee is not refundable.
For a square foot piece of artwork, there are protective envelopes available from Canada Post which should do the trick. Failing that, we would suggest you wrap each piece in bubble wrap and place it in a cardboard box. In the event you would like your unsold artwork back, please ensure that your return address is clearly visible.
We will mail the cheques as soon as possible but please bear with us - we have limited staff, and hopefully the event will be so successful that it will take a few days!
If you are local, you or a representative can pick it up at NorVA at the end of the live auction on Saturday, October 4, or in the days following during normal NorVA operating hours. Any artwork not claimed within 7 days will become property of NorVA.
