THE FINE PRINT
All costs for the show, including shipping and insuring of artworks, postcard printing, postage, wall titles, reception food and drink, etc., are the responsibility of the curator. Additionally, the curator is responsible for installing and de-installing the show within the given schedule.

SOIL assists with writing and distribution of a press release, access to the mailing list, keeping the gallery staffed and general promotion on the website.

SALES
Sales occur directly between the artist or curator and the buyer. Gallery sitters are happy put the artist or curator and buyer in touch with each other. SOIL encourages a 15%-30% donation of sales. This is not required, however we operate on a modest budget and appreciate donations. Our percentage is low because we are not focused on sales or supported by them. We are foremost dedicated to our mission to support emerging and innovative art in Seattle.
