Fees

  • The artist exhibit basic fee is $25. This gives you your own portfolio page (as described above) for the entire month of October, 2020.  Entries will not be juried, but will be reviewed for acceptable content for a general viewing audience. See more details on the registration form itself.
  • A 3D Hanging Gallery option is available for 2D hanging artists.  The artwork can be beautifully displayed on a gallery wall with a wall label that can link directly to the artist’s e-commerce page to push a sale with interested buyers. We can help you with this or you can provide us a link to a gallery you create. Your 3D gallery will be included on your Portfolio page and may also be featured on our home page.
    • $45 for up to 12 pieces in a Solo Gallery (up to 9 for large pieces; up to 12 for medium to large pieces). (See room example here). The fee is to cover cost of helping entrants create this for their portfolio page. Your gallery can directly link to purchase if you wish.  Any questions, inquire info@charbonneauarts.org.
    • $25 for up to 8 pieces in a Shared Gallery. (See room example here.) The fee is to cover cost of helping entrants create this for their portfolio page. Your gallery can directly link to purchase if you wish. Any questions, inquire info@charbonneauarts.org.
