INTERNATIONAL ART GALLERY

Artists accepted (via the IABS juried process) will be offered the opportunity to purchase a 6-foot by 6-foot display area for an easel or pedestal exhibit. This will be held in one portion of each of the training rooms during the event. In addition to networking opportunities with galleries and publishers during breaks, the artists will benefit from the ongoing business educational program. A small-skirted table will provide a place for brochures, a portfolio, and sales paraphernalia.
All symposium participants are allotted one vote in each artistic genre category plus 'best of show'. First, second and third place People's Choice Awards will be given based on the participants' votes.

This will be held adjacent to the International Art Gallery in each training room. A large skirted table is provided for computers, brochures, samples, and sales paraphernalia. Sufficient break times will allow symposium participants to browse through the displays and meet each participant.
