Who can reserve a place at an art fair?
Only artists with a “Pro” account can reserve a place at art fairs.
How does the reservation process for a place at the fair work?
You can reserve your place by clicking the “Reserve Place” button. A form will open for you to upload the details and images of the artwork you want to exhibit. Once the form is submitted, you will need to wait for the confirmation of your reservation before proceeding with the payment.
Why is confirmation from the gallery necessary?
Confirmation is necessary to ensure that there is enough space to exhibit all the works and that the artists’ works match the theme of the fair.
After reserving a place, how long will I have to wait for confirmation?
We will send confirmation or a rejection of the reservation within 24/48 hours.
If I reserve a place, am I guaranteed to exhibit?
To be sure, you must wait for the confirmation of the reservation from our team.
When do I need to pay for the reserved place?
You can only pay for the reservation after receiving confirmation. Once you receive confirmation, you will have a limited time of a few days to proceed with the payment. The payment deadline will be communicated to you as soon as the reservation is confirmed.
Is the price to participate in a fair always the same?
No. Each fair has a different price depending on the available places in the gallery’s stand and the type of fair.
How many fairs does the gallery participate in each year, and how often?
Moho Gallery participates in various art fairs in Italy and abroad each year. The exhibition schedule may vary year to year. Every time a new exhibition opportunity is published, an email is sent to inform all registered artists. We recommend regularly checking the sections on exhibitions and art fairs to discover all the news.
If my reservation is not confirmed, will I still have to pay for it?
Of course not. Artists will need to pay the participation fee only if they will exhibit.
If my reservation is rejected, can I try to reserve again with other works?
Yes, it is possible. A rejected reservation is removed from our system within a few days of the rejection notification. Once it is removed, you will be able to re-reserve. We strongly advise not to re-book with similar works to avoid receiving another rejection.
What happens if I do not proceed with the payment of a reservation?
The reservation for a fair is binding for payment in the case of confirmation. We encourage artists to reserve a place at the fair only if they are truly intending to participate. Unpaid reservations beyond the deadline may exclude the artist from all future exhibitions or fairs organized. Additionally, in case of recurrence, the artist’s account may be blocked or deleted.
Can I modify or cancel my reservation after making it?
It is possible only if the modification or cancellation is communicated to us within 24 hours of submitting the reservation.
Can I reserve multiple fairs at the same time?
Yes, it is possible.
What details are provided about the art fairs?
In the fair section or through the “More info” link, you will find all the necessary information, including: available places, participation price, type of fair, reservation deadline, space available for each artist, location, and dates of the fair.
Are there limits to the number of works I can exhibit?
Yes. In the work upload form, you can enter up to 4 works. Each fair also specifies the space available for each artist at the gallery’s stand. The number of works to upload should be proportionate to the available space while also considering some “breathing” space between two works. Therefore, it is unnecessary to submit a number of works that, by size, cannot be exhibited in the available space for each artist. The participation request will likely be rejected. Also, unlikely arrangements (e.g., one or more works on top of another) do not reflect the stylistic rigor that the gallery wants to maintain in its stand, so the request is likely to be rejected.
How much space do I have available for my works?
For each fair, the available space in the gallery’s stand may change. You can find this and all other information directly in the announcement and details of each fair.
How many artists and works will be exhibited?
The available spots are indicated in the overview of each fair. The number of works exhibited by each artist depends on their size.
I need more space for my works. Can I reserve more places?
Yes, it is possible, but you must contact us before making the reservation. Our team will evaluate your request.
I have already reserved and paid for my place at a fair. What should I do now?
As soon as the reservation is confirmed with the payment, you will receive an email with all the details on how to prepare for your participation, including deadlines and shipping details for the work.
What should I do if I need more information about the fair?
Please contact us indicating which fair you need help with and your questions.
Who organizes and pays the shipping costs for the works?
The shipping costs for both the outgoing and return of the work are the artists’ responsibility. If you need assistance in organizing your shipment, please contact us.
Where should the works be shipped?
Generally, and in the absence of different instructions, the works should be shipped to our offices in the province of Udine, Italy. All detailed information on the shipping address, delivery deadline, and contacts for shippers will be sent to participating artists as soon as the reservation has been paid.
Is it possible to deliver the works personally?
No. Personal deliveries may only be accepted if arranged in advance and only at the location of the fair and on the day of installation.
Who will prepare the works for return and who will organize the pickup?
At the end of the fair, the works will be re-packed by our staff in the same manner in which they were received. The works will be available for pickup a few days after the fair ends. We will contact you as soon as the works are ready for pickup. Pickup can be done through a courier at the same address they were shipped to. You may request assistance from our team to organize the return shipment. Generally, we have some financial advantages for shipments due to contracts with various carriers, so the return shipment might cost you less. Contact us for more information.
How should I pack the works for shipping?
We ask you to pack the works very well, using materials such as bubble wrap, sturdy cardboard, or wooden crates to best protect the works during transport. In the case of fragile works with glass or other delicate materials, please notify us before shipping.
Which carrier should I use to ship the works?
We suggest using well-known express couriers, such as DHL, UPS, FEDEX, TNT, etc. We do not recommend using postal services due to possible delays and mishaps in handling artworks.
I need to ship my works from a non-European country. Are there specific guidelines to follow?
Yes. Due to some customs complexities regarding the importation of artworks into Italy, we will provide all artists shipping from non-European countries with additional and detailed instructions on the procedures to follow to avoid problems during customs clearance of the works. These details will be sent as soon as the reservation is paid and confirmed.
What happens if I do not proceed with the pickup of a work?
We guarantee free storage of the works in our warehouses for only 6 months after the fair ends. Any works not picked up within 6 months can no longer be claimed by the artists.
Are there any additional costs associated with reserving a place or with the art fair?
No. Other than the shipping costs, there are no other costs for the artists to bear.
Do I need to be present at the gallery’s stand during the art fair days?
The presence of artists is welcome but not mandatory.
Do I need to indicate the public sale price of the exhibited works?
Yes, you will need to inform us of the public sale price.
Will the gallery charge sales commissions on the works at the fair?
No. In all fairs where artists have already paid for their reservation, the gallery will not charge any commission in the event of a sale.
