5. All artwork is selected for consignment by review of the Fe Gallery team to complement the Gallery.
6. Before new pieces are consigned, Fe Gallery requires an up-to-date artist statement on file and all the proper paperwork to be filled out and dated.

8. Each guest Artist shall drop off or ship his/her art ‘Show Ready’ - properly tagged with Title/Artist Name, clean, in good condition, ready for display (if art is to be mounted, it must be ready to be hung). At the time of drop off, if the artwork is not ‘Show Ready,’ Fe Gallery may choose not to show it. Fe Gallery reserves the right to choose which art will be displayed and makes no guarantees that all artwork will be shown during consignment.
