Bidding on Artwork
Each work will have an attached bidding sheet. To bid, simply write down your badge number and your bid amount on the supplied sheet.
Please note that unreadable bids will be ignored. Please print legibly!
All bids must be in $5 or $10 increments. If a bid is not evenly divisible by 5, Furpocalypse reserves the right to round any bids up to the nearest $5.
The bid sheet is full, can I still bid?
In the event that the bid sheet does fill up completely, the item will be auctioned in the voice auction on Sunday as listed on the above schedule.
What if there are no bids at the voice auction?
In the event that there are no bids cast during the voice auction for an item, it will be sold to the winning bidder from the bid sheet.a
Art Show Rules
Attendees
Please know that bidding is a contract for payment to the artist. If you win a piece, you are responsible for paying before receiving your art. If you win a piece and do not claim it, you will be contacted by Furpocalypse staff requesting payment and shipping if necessary.
If you are unable to pick up your art on Sunday morning or attend the voice auction, please let the art show staff know as soon as possible. We will gladly work with you to make sure you get the art you are trying to win. You may talk to us in person at the convention or you can contact us at [email protected].
Photography by attendees is not permitted in the Art Show; no cameras will be allowed in the room unless they are in the hands of Furpocalypse staff.
Artists
- Furpocalypse will retain a commission of 10% of the total selling price of each piece.
- All Art Show submission forms must be completely and accurately filled out.
- Works entered into the Art Show must not infringe upon others’ copyrights or trademarks, and must be legal to display and sell.
- Any artist with a submitted art piece determined by Art Show staff to have been created in part or wholly with a generative AI service will have all of their submitted works be rejected entirely from the Art Show.
- All works must be reasonably sturdy and capable of being transported, as convention staff will need to be able to safely move the art.
- Furpocalypse staff reserves the right to rearrange and move any piece entered in the Art Show if deemed necessary by staff.
- Artists must check in with Furpocalypse Art Show staff to deliver the works. Legal identification will be required, mirroring the requirements for attendee identification.
