                Art Show Information





Once again Confabulation will have an art show -- and once again the

art show director is new to the show.  Be gentle and he won't hang your

art face to the wall.

   

All art must have a Science Fiction or Fantasy theme.  Prints, 3-D

pieces, and decorated clothing are all acceptable.  There is a $0.50

display fee for each piece and a 10% commission on all pieces sold. 

Pieces will be sold at a quick sale price if you give permission. 

Pieces with two or more bids will go to auction at 1100 on Sunday, 7

February.  Artists attending Confbabulation 5 will be paid by check by

1300 on Sunday; other artists will be mailed their unsold art and a

check for items sold by 13 February.
