Extra Original and reproduction price tags and theme tags are available at the information table near the entrance if needed.

Sales Procedure:           

You are provided with a 3-part Invoice and a Record Sheet. Extra invoices are available from the Treasurer if needed. At the point of sale, you will complete the invoice with the name and address of the customer, your name, the price of the artwork, HST if collected, and the total of the sale. Please direct the art purchaser to the wrapping table at the entrance with the artwork and the white invoice, to be shown at the wrapping table. You may wish to escort the customer to the Treasurer's table or wrapping table to prevent confusion. The artist keeps the yellow (2nd copy) which will be collected during the show for the PAF and the pink (third) copy of the invoice becomes the artist's.  Please record sales on the sheet provided. Most artists will arrange for payment directly with the customer.

Credit Card Service:     

For a 5% service charge,  the Art Festival offers a credit card service for Visa and Master Cards to those who do not have a credit card machine. This is available at the Treasurer’s Information table at the entrance. The Treasurer will reimburse you around two weeks after the Art Festival.

Payment of Commission: 

The Treasurer will accept 15% Commission on Total Sales (excluding HST)) in cash or by cheque at the conclusion of the show which is at 4:30 PM on Sunday. 

HST:                               

If HST is collected, the artist needs to notify the Pelham Art Festival and identify their HST number. Please send this information to [email protected]
