2015 Ulverstone Civic Centre Patrick Street, Ulverstone Sat 6thJune – 10am to 4pm Sun 7th June – 10am to 4pm The exhibition demonstrates the range of creative activity and talent in our region, and brings it to a wider audience. It is an excellent opportunity for networking between artists of diverse genres. In addition to static and working displays of visual and fine arts and crafts, the exhibition features a selection of supporting music and vocal performance, and its signature “Creative Fashions” element which will feature on both days. Applications are invited from all creative artists living and working in the Northwest of Tasmania. PLEASE NOTE THAT, owing to space restrictions, artists requiring an extra table, OR additional floor space for free-standing items (including print stands, etc) which cannot be accommodated on a single table, MUST request a double space, or plan their display accordingly.

STATEMENT OF EXPECTATION Please read carefully, and sign and return with your application form. 1. While some assistance will be available, exhibitors are required to set up their own displays. Equipment and conditions as designated in the application information will be provided. Please detail any extra requirements carefully. The venue will open on Friday 5th June from 10:00am to 5:00pm for exhibitors to set up. 2. High standard of presentation is required. Successful application means the quality of your work is recognised, so please present to best advantage in your own interests and as a courtesy to your fellow exhibitors. Use clean, crease-free table covers, and hide storage and packing from public view. 3. Designated opening and closing times must be strictly adhered to. Artists must attend, with displays fully set up, for the whole period of public opening on BOTH days. The centre will open 1 hour prior to public opening on each day, and for a minimum of 1 hour after closing on the final day for dismantling of exhibits. Late arrival or early departure contravene the terms of your commitment – and may pre-empt you from future participation. 4. Goods are displayed at artists' own risk. All care is taken, but no responsibility is assumed by the organisers. Current members of an affiliated TRA branch have public liability cover on site during the exhibition under Tasmania Regional Arts’ insurance. Non-TRA members who are exhibiting must pay an additional $25 for this cover. This will include a single membership of Leven Regional Arts to 31 December 2015. Non-member exhibitors who have their own public & product liability insurance will be required to submit a valid copy of certification which covers all days of the event. While not essential, it is recommended that artists have their own insurance for product liability as this is not covered under the terms of TRA insurance. 5. Non-members of TRA who are volunteering, but not exhibiting, are covered under TRA’s Volunteer Insurance pending completion of documentation outlining the extent of their volunteer commitment. All insurance cover is subject to certain conditions outlined in the terms of TRA’s insurance policy, and no responsibility is accepted for any dispute arising. 5. Artists are required to ensure that their displays are manned for the full period of public opening. Please make your own arrangements for a stand-in during any unavoidable absences. 6.
