Finally, DRA requests a 20% contribution of work sold or commissioned from the show. We survive on charitable contributions and volunteer energy!

Abandoned work -- DRA and curators are not responsible for artist’s work after October 28, 2007. If you sell a piece and the purchaser has not picked it up, it is still yours.
