I, the applying artist, hereby declare my intention to exhibit my artwork as described in my entry form, in the National Association of Women Artists, Inc., 133d Annual Members’ Exhibition at One Art Space, 23 Warren Street, Street Level Gallery 1, New York, NY 10007, and to be published on the NAWA website, www.thenawa.org, and https://oneartspace.com to hold said artwork available for sale, until the specified end date of the exhibit as listed on the prospectus.

In consideration of the display of my artwork, I hereby declare I am the owner and creator of the original artwork being submitted by me, both as the artwork’s physical manifestation and the copyright of artwork.

I accept full responsibility for any and all damages, loss, theft, and/or any other casualty of any kind in shipping artwork to the gallery, and to a buyer, if the work sells.  I hereby waive any and all claims against the National Association of Women Artist, Inc., as well as their employees, officers, directors and committee personnel.  Nevertheless, for the purpose of this agreement, I agree that the stated value of the artwork shall be One ($1.00) Dollar, in the event of any loss or damage to the piece of artwork.

I agree to allow an image of my artwork being exhibited to be used without charge for advertising and/or promotion in the furtherance of the Exhibition, and for any purposes including without limitation traditional media, social media, website as well as public relations, prior to and/or after the Exhibition.

My work is available for sale at the price hereinbefore agreed. I agree that if my work is sold during the exhibition, NAWA will retain a commission of 20% percent, to One Art Space 10% and pay me (the artist) 70% percent of the selling price.

Point of release clause:  the work on exhibition is considered part of the exhibition from point of opening of the exhibit (October 14) through the end of the exhibit (4 pm) on Saturday, October 29.

I understand that my work may not be included if it fails to meet professional presentation standards (as determined by the Exhibitions Committee), including but not limited to: blurry photography in entry jpeg, inclusion of type over the image, improper hanging apparatus or unprofessional framing. Shipping with packing “peanuts” is difficult for volunteers and staff, and illegal in NY State; items packed this way will be returned after calling the artist. Artists should communicate this to their shipper.

NAWA retains the right of discretion to decide if artworks do or do not meet the requirements of our show standards, or contain any inflammatory or offensive materials.

Labels: NAWA a not-for-profit art organization, will not list anything other than the name of the artists, the title of the work, dimensions, medium and price on the labels.

In the event of a dispute with regard to this Waiver Agreement, we agree that all disputes must be adjudicated in a State Court in the County, City and State of New York (i.e., Manhattan), under the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of Law rules.

Note:  The use of the National Association of Women Artists, Inc.’s logo, without prior written permission is prohibited.  The use of the registered Trademark Seal and the logo of the National Association of Women Artists, Inc. for any personal or business use on any documents, postcards, invitations, and other promotional materials and communications is a violation of law. The letters NAWA may be used by regular juried members (i.e., not Associate or Student members), after their names, on all artworks, signifying their membership.
