ABOUT Temporary Gallery BerlinThe Temporary Gallery Berlin opened in December, with the primary purpose of creating an exhibition space for independent artists in Berlin as well as connecting these artists with similar exhibition spaces all over the world, in cities such as New York, Miami and Spain. The Temporary Gallery Berlin will provide artists with the marketing and general organizational skills required to hold an exhibition.

Despite the international economic crisis, the art world has not suffered as much as other industries and this is evident in the Berlin art scene as well. There is still a readiness to invest in art, seen especially in October 2010, when there were seven different art fairs throughout the city, ranging from a fair for independent artists to the Art Forum Berlin, an internationally recognized art fair. The Temporary Gallery Berlin will provide a place for artists to exhibit their works in a city where the art market is steadily rising and where many young collectors come to buy works by new emerging artists.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How large is your display area? How much room do I have?

The walls of the space are 9 feet tall by 6 feet wide.

How many artworks can I fit?Cut out the sizes to plan your wall or make a space on your floor about the size of the wall, then put the actual artwork there to see how it will fit. Remember to allow for the size of your frame and for enough white space between the artwork. If the wall is too crowded, your artwork will not stand out. Do not send more art than can fit on the wall. There is no storage for additional work, and if we put your artwork with the packing boxes, they run the risk of being damaged or stolen.

Can I bring my work in person?

Yes. Hand carry move-in day for our booth is indicated in the instructions.

Can I pick up my unsold work in person?Yes. Come to the space at the designated time at the end of the show to sign out for it. Hand carry move-out day is indicated in the instructions. Can I replace sold work?If a piece of artwork is sold, you can bring another one to replace it. You will have to make sure it fits the empty space, otherwise it will not be accepted.

Can I put work on the floor in front of my wall?

No. Artwork may not be stacked against walls, on the floor, or on tabletops.

Can I have prints to sell at the show?

Yes. We will have a print bin next to the table. All prints will go there. The public will be free to browse and purchase.

How do I prepare my prints?

Be sure your prints are made rigid with cardboard at the back and wrapped in cellophane. Put a sticky label at the back with your name, title, size, and the price. Remember that they will be handled often; therefore, they have to be protected. Prints that become dirty will not sell.

How does the purchasing process work?

Someone likes a piece, decides to purchase it, an invoice is generated, a check is made to Artisan Direct, Ltd., or a credit card transaction is generated, or cash is paid to the designated show staff, and Artisan Direct, Ltd. will send you a percentage of the sale.

When will I receive my check?

Shortly after the money transaction clears.

If I am at the booth, why can’t I receive the money right then?

Sales during the exhibit are between the purchaser and Artisan Direct, Ltd., not between you and the purchaser.

Can I bring my portfolio?

Artisan Direct, Ltd. will send press materials on each artist. You may bring your portfolio to show potential clients you meet. You will need to hold your portfolio because the table will display the materials prepared by Artisan Direct, Ltd.

Can I send invitations?

Definitely! Your collectors are your best allies! For more information on ordering invita tions and print materials, view our web site, www.artisandirectltd.net.
