Notes for venues
This page is for the managers and owners of venues that are hosting one of our seminar event days.
What are we doing
Running over the day from two to four seminars each 1.5 hours long plus some question time. You can find information by looking at the link from the index to this section, if your event is not listed, look at some of the others.
These are educational events, although we have some art images with us they are not sold by us on this day. Our objective is to promote the collecting and enjoyment of art and empower more people to take part. We are also in some areas keen to recruit local art consultants, that can be trained up to provide local help, advice and assistance.
Some events are free (sponsored), some have very small charges just to cover the cost of putting them on, and usually under £20, over all these events work out revenue neutral, we neither expect to make anything or it to cost us much.
We ask people to arrive 15 minutes before each session is to start, and then try to start on time. As there is question time where we can speak to individuals after, they tend to float away rather than all leave at once.
| We bring with us display
equipment, all free standing, it does not lean on the building or have
anything fixed to it.
All art images with us are chipped, these electronic chips identify the work and without the documentation to match these chips the works are of little value to thieves, as they cannot sell them for a good price. We book the rooms from the time we expect to arrive to set up, usually an hour before the first presentation and long enough after to allow equipment to be put away. We try to be out of the rooms by the end of the time it was booked for but if this is critical to you please tell us, and we will make sure we are clear. We don't organise refreshments for those attending, but most places they will make good use of bars or other facilities that you offer. If you have a website, please let us know so we can put a link to it, so that those attending can see what other facilities you have available that they may be able to use. We would like the room set out theatre style, allowing enough room at the front for us to put a screen and some display equipment. We use a computer driven video projector we bring with us, this is powerful enough that the room does not need to be darkened. If for some reason we are unable to use this on the day effectively we can manage without it. We have our own small PA system. Where we use large rooms that have stages, our presenters prefer to be in front of, rather than on the stage. We assume the following, please let us know if there is any problem with these
Art exhibitions We are also interested in suitable places to put on art exhibitions, these are usually not put on by us directly, but by local art consultants. Where we put them on ourselves we have enough display equipment to be able to display over 100 works of art on our own supports, again nothing is fixed to or lent on the building structure. All works displayed will be chipped so we don't have a large security problem. At exhibitions works may be for sale immediately but more often they stay at the exhibition for the time of the exhibition and are then delivered. Hotels interested in quality art works for your better rooms Our art consultants are trained to hang art including using several types of security fitting, so your residents can't wander off easily with them. They are able to give you a special rate for quantity orders. Having works for sale at your hotel Your local art consultant can talk to you about the options available that varies from having art stock displayed at no cost to you and producing you an income on sales to selling you works at trade prices for you to market directly. Quality Art works in your public areas that can be changed from time to time. One of our brands is a collection, and this allows art to be either bought and then exchanged for other items in the collection or for art to be rented, an attractive consideration for businesses that like the effect of having quality art but without the capital outlay. |
Nothing rests on or is affixed to the walls. A display stand like this is very stable and can hold 6 works of art, 3 on each side, often we use it to hold just 3 so use it one sided. At seminar events we have usually 4 of these units, while at art exhibitions we may have 15 or more. These units have wheels on and are mobile, convenient with longer events, as they can be moved while the room is cleaned. We may also use some easels, small ones that sit on a table or larger floor standing ones. |
