The BRPG will handle the sale of my pottery. The BRPG will earn a maximum commission of 15%. If the sale profits exceed the budgeted amount, the commission percentage will be reduced accordingly. The BRPG will collect the sales tax and pay it to the state. The BRPG is not responsible for the loss or damage to artwork or display materials. The IRS 1099 form will be issued to participants whose sales exceed $600.
Requirements for all applicants:
The BRPG is a community of ceramic artists. As members we are expected to support each other and the mission statement of our guild. All show applicants will engage as community members by sharing responsibilities for planning and implementing tasks required for a successful show. This includes rotating through sub-committee leadership roles based on experience and need.
Mandatory tasks include:
1. Distribute yard signs, posters, bookmarks and postcards prior to the show,
2. Work scheduled hours during the show,
3. Clean up and reset the cafeteria after the show,
4. Release BRPG from any liability, loss, or theft that may occur from the use of this space,
5. Exhibit and sell only first quality pottery produced by the applicant. No reduced-price items are allowed or the selling of another person’s work,
6. Provide four high-quality digital photos of your current work. Photos should be well-lit with neutral, light or white backgrounds. Because our social media efforts are expanding, additional, less formal photos (such as those taken outdoors with natural backgrounds) are welcome after you have submitted the 4 required photos. Email photos to: Mary Winston mcwinston@gmail.com and Judy Lackey julackey@gmail.com
7. Submit your application, photos, and fee and by May 20, 2025. Subpar photos will not be accepted. Applications will not be complete or considered until four acceptable photographs have been submitted.
8. Support the event by actively participating on a committee (see page 3), and
9. Advertise the sale on applicant’s social media networks.
This event is fully staffed by the participants. Consideration for booth assignments will be given relative to BRPG activities other than those listed as mandatory. If booth demand exceeds capacity, decisions on acceptance will be made accordingly. If you are a new BRPG member, please indicate how you plan to support the Guild and the show beginning in 2025.
For returning artists, please list all the jobs you did for the BRPG since January 2024 and for the 2024 BRPG show and Sale. If you are a new BRPG member, please indicate how you plan to support the Guild and the show beginning in 2025.

Price Labels:

You will receive more information and an order form sometime in June. Labels will be ready for pick up in Roanoke (place/time TBD- generally in late September). Out of town potters (outside the greater Roanoke area) can request their labels to be shipped via USPS flat rate box. Please indicate below if you need your labels to be shipped.
