Art Show

ART SHOW & AUCTION
ValleyCon has an excellent history of bringing fine artworks of the fantasy/science fiction genre to our area and we also enable the Festival-goer the chance to own many of the works at our auction. Tour the Art Show, vote for your favorites and bid early and often and then stop by the auction on Sunday!

PLEASE CHECK YOUR BAGS!! ValleyCon does not allow any cameras, purses, backpacks, video cameras, ETC. into the Art Show or Auction. No food, drink or smoking is allowed.

HOW DO I GO ABOUT PURCHASING ONE OF THESE FINE ITEMS, you ask?
Most of the items in the art show are up for auction. If you like a particular piece, there is an attached bid sheet to every item available for auction and simply PRINT your name and badge number and place your bid. All bids in whole US dollars. Only pieces with three or more bids will go to auction. If you have the only bid-you win! No pieces without a bid will be sold after the auction for the minimum bid price (no bid=no sale). Only those items with an "after auction price" will be sold on Sunday. All art sold will be available for pickup approximately 60 minutes after the auction ends. ALL BIDS ON ART ARE CONSIDERED LEGAL CONTRACTS TO BUY. All sales are final and sold "as is". We take cash and checks as legal tender and will take VISA and MASTERCARD via paypal BUT there will be a 3% fee imposed to cover the transaction costs (which is imposed on ALL charge orders, paypal or not).
