The basic unit of space for flat work is the panel, which is made of pegboard (holes 1″ apart) and is 4′ high by 6′ wide. For 3-D art, the basic unit is the table, which is 6′ long by 30″ deep. The available units and their prices are as follows:
¼ unit: $11
½ unit: $22
1 unit: $44
2 units: $88
3 units: $132 (returning artists only)
Each new artist may reserve up to one unit in combined panels and tables; returning artists may reserve up to three units. We may reduce your space and refund your money proportionally if we deem it necessary. All space must be paid in full prior to the art show.
Boskone accepts mailed-in art and prints. There is a $20 hanging fee per artist for mailed-in art which must be hung by the the Boskone Art Show crew; there is no fee if you are shipping art but having a non-crew member hang it.
Print Fees
The fee for prints is a flat $1/print.
