Artwork Guidelines
No sexual, nude, religious, or politically charged imagery.
All artwork must be complete and suitable for gallery display.
Photography and video are required for promotional purposes. Participation in events, exhibitions implies consent to be photographed and videoed.
Copywriting issues are your responsibility. If you copy someone else’s photo, drawing, or artwork, your work is not saleable and may be removed from the exhibition
Liability & Insurance Notice
While every effort will be made to handle artwork with care, LJ~EBAG and the participating venues cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage.
Legal claims will not be accepted. Artists are strongly encouraged—though not required—to obtain personal art insurance for their work.
Sales & Donations
Artists are responsible for handling their own sales proceeds and any applicable taxes.
LJ~EBAG requires a 20% donation from each sale—10% goes toward general funds, and 10% supports venue operating expenses. If there are no venue expenses, the full 20% is allocated to general support.
Artwork Delivery & Pickup
Artists are required to deliver their artwork in person and ensure it is picked up by themselves or an authorized representative on the designated collection date.
Artists must adhere to LJ~EBAG guidelines and policies!
