FINISHING

Each piece must be suitable for hanging, but the finishing technique is up to the artist. You may choose to frame, or stretch the piece over a frame, or sew a sleeve on the back, or finish with some other technique that would make the piece ready to hang on a wall.

LABEL YOUR PIECE

On the back of your art piece, fix a label that reads:

  • WMQFA Small Art Auction 2018
  • Name of the Piece
  • Made by (Your Name)

PRICING

Give us an estimated value for your piece. We will take it into consideration when setting auction "buy it now" prices and minimum bids. WMQFA reserves the right to have the final decision on pricing of all small art donations. If any pieces do not get bids during the auction, they will go to our Gift Shop for sale.

Note that the Gift Shop hours are Wednesday-Saturday from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm and Sunday from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm. We are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The final deadline for submissions is June 1, 2018.
