How do I know when I am in a show & how fast can I find out?
Applications are usually processed as received and if you included the required SASE (for non-members), we will mail your acceptance/rejection notice upon acceptance/rejection.
What are the deadlines to return applications?
All deadlines dates are shown on each application. If past the deadline date, please call us to check.
Can I request a particular space?
For a space request, we suggest three - stating general areas - this way if we can't help with the first one or two requests, we can probably do the third. If there is a specific reason you are asking for a particular space, please tell us and if we have to give you an alternate space we can probably help with your problem.
What are the entry fees to shows?
The entry fees in 2008 ranged from $55 - $170 for a single space depending upon if you are a member or non-member, space size, length of show, etc. Extra 1/2 spaces are available at a majority of shows for an additional fee (usually 1/2 single space fee). Double spaces can be available at some shows.
When are the entry fees deposited?
All entry fees are deposited on the deadline date of the application.
If the show is filled or my category is closed, what should I do?
Request to be put on the cancellation list. You must have passed jury and, naturally, your medium would need to be accepted for that particular show. To be placed on the cancellation list, please give us the following information: 1) your name and daytime telephone number (if your address, phone number or e-mail address has changed, please tell us). 2) a brief description of your medium. Sometimes we might ask you about your display depending upon show. 3) tell us how close to the time of the show you can wait before would be too late for you to exhibit. And if you are on the cancellation list and no longer wish to be, please let us know. This frees up room for one of your fellow exhibitors to them be placed on the cancellation list.
I can't find my Jury/Approval Number. What do I do?
We do not give Jury/Approval Numbers over the telephone or by email. When sending in the application, if this is your first show with ASA, make a notation where Jury/Approval Number should be that you couldn't find it. We will look it up for you. If you have exhibited since passing jury, check off the non-member/previous exhibitor section. None of this, of course, applies to members who put down their membership number.
I already have a Jury/Approval Number, and I am interested in Membership. What do I need to do?
Please send a SASE requesting an application for membership and state the medium you work in. Or you can e-mail us at the jury e-mail address Asoaartists@aol.com making the same request - your request would be filled via e-mail.
I forgot to request an outlet (at shows where available) or check off that I was working/demonstrating during the show. What do I do?
Please call or email us as soon as possible.
I don't need to fill out the back of the application with the diagram of my display and brief written description of my work each time, do I?
Yes. Please remember to do this, as it is a necessary part of the application - just like your name/address, etc.
What are your office hours?
Monday - Friday 10am to 5pm (except for certain holidays). Please tell whoever answers the telephone what your question is, what you need, etc., and they will do their best to help you immediately. If all the lines are busy, our voice mail will pick up. Feel free to leave a message. You can also leave a voice message after hours, on weekends and holidays.
