Exhibit at VEAA Shows in Absentia
VEAA artists may send artwork to be included in a VEAA organized show at any event even if they are not able to attend the show themselves. Such artists will share the entry fee with all participating artists and pay a flat fee of $25.00. In addition, 15% of any of an absent artist's sales will be distributed among the artists present and working at the show. Non-attending artists will be alloted one or two screens for hanging artwork depending on the available space. Prints are placed in bins. If more than five prints are sent, the artist must supply their own bin. If a piece is large, the artist must provide their own transport to and from the show.
Credit Card Processing at VEAA Exhibitions
To simplify sales, VEAA now offers credit card processing for members participating in VEAA shows. Both Visa and MasterCard are accepted for purchases, which are handled through a central cashier at each show. Checks are sent to artists from VEAA, usually within a week. There is a small surcharge of three percent of each sale to cover associated costs to VEAA.
