If you anticipate that it will take you a long time to take down your booth, please start loading out your art ahead of time.

Spackle paste is available from the BHCC staff. PUBLICITY 5 x 7 postcard invitations will be available to promote the event. Please feel free to stop by and pick up some cards, if you wish. We are open Tuesday-Saturday from12 to 6 pm. Printed postcards will become available on Tuesday, November 3, 2015. If you would rather use e-mail or an online social network to promote the Art Mart, you can visit www.bathhousemedia.com to download a digital version of the postcard. This file will be posted online on Saturday, October 24, 2015). The information about the Art Mart has been submitted to Art&Seek. After they approve the listing, they will post the information on both www.artandseek.org and on our website, www.bathhousecultural.com. Other promotional materials will be distributed to our media list and to our general patron list. In addition to the postcards, we will also have yard signs (18" x 24") to promote the event. Let us know if you would like to get one, too. If you get a sign, please make sure that you place it in a private property. The Department of Code Enforcement will fine the Bath House if the signs are placed in a restricted location. FYI - City of Dallas code: Signs (Section 3, 7A-16 and 51A) It is a violation of the City code to post any signs (notices, posters or other paper devices) on a utility pole, lamp post, shade tree; public structure or building or on the City's right-of-way or median except as may be authorized or required by law. This includes garage sale signs. Even if you don't live in Dallas, it is likely that your city has a similar rule. OTHER INFORMATION If you were assigned a booth that has a price lower than what you paid us, we will give you a refund check on the weekend of the Art Mart to compensate you for the overpayment. Unfortunately, the layout of the booth cannot be altered after the committee has assigned locations for the artists. If you were given a space that is not to your satisfaction, you may opt out of the event by contacting the Bath House Cultural Center immediately, and we will assign the booth space to another artist. We hope 521 E. Lawther Drive Dallas, Texas 75211 (214) 670-8749 www.bathhousecultural.com 7
that you are happy with your booth location and that you enjoy your experience with the Art Mart.
