Unclaimed Artwork
A number of people did not pick up and pay for their artwork at the con. In many cases, it was one or two pieces overlooked, which is understandable given the amount of artwork involved. Some people may have had to leave early because of travel arrangements. A small number of people may have decided they just didn't want to wait in line, in which case if they repeat such behavior, they will be unwelcome to bid in future Art Shows.

All of the unclaimed artwork is now in the possession of the Art Show Director, who has contacted each buyer with details and payment options. If you have received such a notice, please respond promptly. We must settle the matter quickly and close the books for the current fiscal year before we can open preregistration for next year. Carrying these over to next year's books is an accounting headache, and will land you on our "Sales Having Incomplete Transactions" (S.H.I.T.) List.



Artist Payments Information

When will I get my check?

All the artist payment checks have been mailed. Of course, allow a few days' delivery time for your check actually to arrive. Payments outside the USA are sent by air mail. If you haven't received your payment by the end of August, please contact art-2010 (AT) anthrocon.org. Mail does get misdirected or delayed. Sometimes it gets returned marked "addressee unknown" for no apparent reason. That's why we ask for your phone number -- we'll never call except in critical situations such as this, when there's no other way to contact you.

What if my check gets lost or destroyed?

Please notify us if your address changes, and (especially if you're sharing a residence with someone else) make sure you inform your local Post Office of your current address. Checks are sent by first class mail, which the Post Office may not deliver if they don't have the addressee's name on file as residing at the address indicated. (Unlike junk mail which gets delivered anyway, no matter to whom it's addressed.) Make sure there's a label with your name on your mailbox, too.

If you do receive your check but the dog eats it, it goes through the laundry, etc. just let us know, we'll send you a replacement. Don't try to fool us and cash both of them, though -- that'll get you permanently banned, and we may file fraud charges.

Will I find out the price each piece sold for, and who bought it?

Yes, with your payment check you will receive a sales report listing the price for each piece sold, when it sold (bid line or at auction), and the name and address of the buyer.



When will information for 2011 be available?

Now that payments are done, we'll be taking a few months off to recuperate. The artists' information packet with the display rules and a space reservation form will be available early next year. To receive one, please send your full (legal) name and postal address to art-2011 (AT) anthrocon.org and you will be placed on our mailing list for the next Anthrocon.
