—Basic Mechanics:
No cameras, bags, packs, food, drink, smoke, voluminous cloaks,
coats, jackets, canes (or such items not necessary for walking),
long swords, quarter staffs, longbows, batleths, etc. are permitted
in the Art Show area due to the danger of damage to the art. A
claim check area will be provided. No electronic or photographic
imaging of displayed artwork is allowed, ever.
No art may be removed from the Art Show until after the voice
Auction Saturday night. Art must be removed from the Print Shop
whenever it is purchased.
Artwork is available for viewing and inspection. Artwork is sold
'as is'. (Most artists are good about repairing any damage that
may have occurred during shipping, but you must find them and
make your own arrangements.)
WillyCon will accept payment in cash (US only), check, travelers
check, money order, Visa or Mastercard. An ATM machine is available
on campus. Gold and silver may be taken only by special arrangement
with the treasury. If you buy art and fail to pick it up, WillyCon
will retain the art and commission Butch and Spike to contact
you about payment. WillyCon reserves the right to resell unclaimed
art to recover its costs.
Some of the artwork in the art show may be limited edition prints.
If the print that you want sells to someone else, contact the
head of the Art Show. The artist who made the prints may have
more copies of the work available. Please note that the cost may
be higher due to the necessary postage and handling.
—Buying Art:
All attending convention members will have the opportunity to
bid on art in the art show and/or buy prints from the print shop.
Visitors may obtain a visitor's badge that will allow them access
to the dealer's room as well as the art show (must have visitor's
badge to buy anything in the Art Show or Print Shop as it will
have a badge number). A bid is an offer to buy and is legally
binding when accepted on behalf of the artist. All bids must include
the bidder's name, the bidder's badge number, and the amount of
the bid.
Written bids will be accepted during the art show's regular hours
on Friday and Saturday. No bids will be accepted after the auction.
There is no Sunday price or Sunday sales outside of the Print
Shop.
Bids must be made in whole US dollars. The first bid must be
at least the posted minimum bid. All subsequent bids must be higher
than all previous bids. If someone bids more than you do and you
wish to outbid them, than add your new bid as a new line on the
bid sheet.
Art with only one (1) bid goes to the lucky bidder. Art with
two (2) written bids by different people will go to voice auction
Saturday evening and if you really want it, be there to defend
your bid! At the discretion of the artist and/or the head of the
art show, art with no bids will be brought to auction, with the
bidding starting at the artist's minimum bid price, unless otherwise
noted by the Artist.
NOTE: All art sold at WillyCon, quick sale or
auction, is
subject to 6.5% (six and one half percent) Nebraska sales Tax
WillyCon has added a "Charity Auction" component to
the regular auction. All proceeds will go to Haven House,
a local battered women's organization located in Wayne and serving
northeast Nebraska. If you would like to participate in this cause,
please bid on the art generously donated for charity by the Artist
GoH and other talented artists. Your kindness and generosity CAN
make a difference...
—Quick Sale:
If a piece has no bids on it above quick sale price and you
wish to buy it through quick sale, then find someone working
in the art show. The Art Show Rep will make sure all sales info
is on the bid sheet and write "quick sale" across
the remaining space. They will then take it to data entry. The
piece may be picked up on Sunday. No one else may bid on a piece
once it is marked 'Quick Sale'.
—Print Shop:
Part of the Art Show is a Print Shop (dependent on artists'
submissions). Artwork in the print shop is sold by direct sale
at the art show desk.
—Volunteers Needed!
Contact the head of the Art Show if you want to volunteer. The
Art Show and Auction are run entirely by volunteer help. We need
you!
