Can I sell the exhibited artworks?
Yes, you may. In fact, that’s the whole point! You may approach passing visitors with the aim of informing them and sparking their interest. (Please respect the visitors’ freedom, however: they must have every opportunity to view the exhibited works in peace.) You may also hand out business cards, art cards, and brochures. Of course, you can also make arrangements for follow-up contact via email, at your location, or the interested party's home, at your studio (or workshop) or by other means.

What if I have sold a piece?
If your work is sold and the buyer wants to take the work immediately, give the buyer a signed form. This is to prevent works from being stolen. You will receive this form from the organization on the day the fair is set up (on Friday).

Can I put prices on my work?
Yes, you may do so on the stickers provided by the organization. It is recommended that the works be provided with sale prices.

Do I owe the organisation commission if I sell exhibited works?
No, you determine the selling price yourself and you do not owe the organisation any commission when you sell.

Does my partner need an entry ticket to enter the fair?
During the set-up of the EuropArtFair (on Thursday afternoon or Friday), you and any help can enter the fair hall to place your work without an entry ticket.

Are there any guidelines I have to comply with while participating in the EuropArtFair?
Yes, in order to have a nice presentation of the works, there are guidelines that each participating artist must adhere to:

  • The participant can largely decide which works to submit for exhibition and sale, there are no restrictions regarding style, materials used and age. However, some other stipulations set forth below do apply.
  • The works to be exhibited must be dry (paint/glue) and may not contain any sharp objects, toxic or otherwise dangerous substances.
  • The works to be exhibited must be fully exhibition-ready, i.e. framed (or stretched) and provided with a solid suspension system or, in the case of a sculpture, directly installable.
  • Size of the works of art: works of art may not exceed 200 cm in height and must fit within the width and depth of the rented stand.
  • Installations can only be exhibited if they take a maximum of 1.5 hours to set up.

Am I expected to be present during the exhibition?
Yes, we ask that you be present at your workstation for the entire duration of the exhibition (from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday) so that you can speak with interested visitors, make arrangements, and, if possible, sell your work.

When can I take my work home again if it is not sold?
On Sunday, the fair ends at 5pm and you can take your work home again (NOT BEFORE).

When can I bring my work and will the fair be set up?
Set-up of the fair is on the Friday prior to the EuropArtFair. To keep this orderly, you will be given a time period during which you can bring your work.

Where can I park my car when I bring my work?
You will receive a separate message about this.

Can I bring my own chair?
No, you are not allowed to bring your own (folding) chair. The organization will provide a chair in your booth. This is to pursue harmony and visual peace in the exhibition areas.

Can I bring a display case to present my work?
Yes, for the presentation of small work (for example, jewelry) you may bring a display case. This may not exceed 250 cm in height and must fit within the rented booth in width and depth.

How can I hang my artwork?
We'll provide you with screws free of charge. It's a good idea to bring your own electric screwdriver, though.

Can I bring several works?
Yes, you can. As long as you adhere to the guidelines and participation conditions.

Who decides whether my works are used for publicity?
The organization determines which works are placed on the website, admission tickets and/or on or with other communications. The organization will not charge you for use of photographs of your works, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Publicity expressions for which a fee is charged will be clearly communicated in advance. Discussion on the choices of photographs is not possible.

Will my name be mentioned on the stand as a participating artist?
Yes, the organisation will provide your name on the stand.

Can small reproductions of my own work, such as postcards and bookmarks, be sold as promotional material?
Yes, they may. As long as your work remains the main focus, the whole stand is well-organised and everything is placed in your stand.

Can I bring 'spare' work in case work is sold?
Yes, that’s allowed. Please keep in mind, however, that there is no separate space at the fair to store your spare artwork. We do not recommend placing spare artwork in your booth: it creates a cluttered look and detracts from the quality of your exhibition. You may leave extra artwork in your car at your own risk.

What if I have questions other than those answered here?
If you have a question other than those answered here, please send an e-mail message with your question to info@europartfair.eu.
