Venue Workshop
June 24th, 2009
The venue workshop starts soon. For all those who can’t make it, you can download the various materials. (If you’re exhibiting multiple artists, I think you’ll find the checklist particularly useful.)
We’re strongly encourage venues showing multiple artists to secure one artist immediately, if you haven’t already. The first one paves the way for securing more artists. Do not wait until the end of July to start securing artists if you are hosting more than four or five.
We continue to get complaints that a couple venues are not being particularly forthright in additional fees. If you are a venue charging an additional fee, please let the artist know up front.

I think guidelines like these would have been helpful for the artist as well. Some, myself included, could have used some direction in the etiquette of communicating with venues-what’s acceptable-what not to do, etc. These files were good to read over.
From an artist perspective the above information was interesting to read. If the venue expects the artist to pay for their own insurance is getting coverage optional?
