All mediums. Content restrictions may be imposed at Trans Rescue’s
|

discretion (will talk to them about this). Physical and digital
|
||
are both allowed (digital will be displayed in the exhibit with a
|
||
watermark). Art can range from “fine art” to “craft” to “merch” as
|
||
long as it is your artistic creation. Let your definition of art
|
||
be as expansive as your definition of trans.

|

[Note: I use the term “commission” heavily when discussing
|

pricing schema later on this page. Understand that a
|
||
“commission slot” is distinct from the artist’s “commission
|
||
rate” in the pricing schema.]
|

</i>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Art must be able to be paid in full up front, and artists should
|
||
feel confident in their ability to deliver on what they promise.
|
||
If you’re comfortable with those boundaries, you may offer a
|
||
commission or otherwise buyer-customizable piece of art.
|
||
Customization can be something simple that requires a single
|
||
text field question (in which case it will be worked into the
|
||
platform and the answer provided to you on purchase), or it may
|
||
be complex enough to require that you get in touch with the
|
||
buyer after purchase.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I encourage you to set strict guidelines that allow you to set a
|
||
firm price up front that you’re confident in; the fundraiser is
|
||
not responsible for following through with buyers if you later
|
||
feel you need more funds to deliver.

Can I use pre-existing material as part of my art?
|
||
</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Of course. You may collage, knit a hat from yarn you didn't
|
||
spin, paint with pigments you didn't crush yourself, etc.

|

<summary>Must it be created for this exhibit?</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
No, but it’s preferred that it is. If we have so many submissions
|
||
such as to make this logistically perilous and I have to impose
|
||
submission limits, reused existing work may be cut. However, I
|
||
don’t currently expect to reach those limits.

<p>From TR:</p>

<blockquote>

<p>
|

We help people escape. That’s something that appeals outside the

trans community. I just got off a call with a guy who had never
|

met a trans person before. He thought what we were doing was so
|
||
cool he’s volunteering with us. Freedom, escape, rebirth,
|

slavery, captivity, ...

<summary>Can I collaborate with another artist?</summary>
|

<p>
|
||
Sure, but only one of you is responsible for being the “point”
|
||
person for any one piece of art. This is to keep my signup forms
|
||
and email lists straightforward.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Obviously, credit all artists who participate in creating a piece.

<details>
|
||
<summary>How many works per artist?</summary>
|
||
<p>one of:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
1 original work (this may mean a single item, or for something
|
||
like a print, it may mean a set of similar items) that
|
||
<b>can</b> be digitally included on the sticker sheet as well as
|
||
sold on its own.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
1 original work (single item or set of prints etc) that
|
||
<b>cannot</b> be included on the sticker sheet <b>plus</b> 1
|
||
small digital design for sticker sheet inclusion.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
1 small digital design for sticker sheet inclusion only.
|
||
However, be aware (as you read the next question) that
|
||
<b
|
||
>I am not able to set artist commission rates on sales of the
|
||
sticker sheets, only individual artistic creations</b
|
||
>. The sticker sheets will be too collaborative to realistically
|
||
apply all artists’ commissions in a meaningful way.
|
||
</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>
|
||
I want to expand on the “single item or set” thing - this lets
|
||
different types of crafts shine differently and allows us to price
|
||
things reasonably and at many price points. It also means not
|
||
everything will be one-and-gone!
|
||
</p>
|
||
</details>
|

<!-- How is pricing determined? Are artists paid? -->
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>How is pricing determined? Are artists paid?</summary>
|
||
<p>For an original work, artists set the following:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li><b>Inventory:</b> number of pieces of the work</li>
|
||
<li><b>Base price:</b> starting price of the work</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<b>Commission:</b> % of the base price they would like to take
|
||
home, up to 50% inclusive
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li><b>Shipping:</b> shipping fees broken out by continent</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Artists will therefore at a minimum take home (Base price *
|
||
Commission + Shipping) * Inventory units sold. This gives them the
|
||
ability to ensure they are paid what they consider adequate for
|
||
charity work.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
For any item in the exhibit, a buyer may choose to pay beyond base
|
||
price. The artist’s commission will be applied to this as well.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Here's why:</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Anyone is able to make a donation to the fundraiser without buying
|
||
art. By buying art and paying additional, the buyer credits the
|
||
artist as well as the fundraiser, and this should be reflected
|
||
financially.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Let’s further elucidate this pricing schema with examples.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(Also, look, there will technically be little nickel-and-dime
|
||
platform fees that chip in to the math here. I’m... not doing that
|
||
yet, please.)

<summary>Alyx</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Alyx creates a painting. Xe decides that xe would like to recoup
|
||
materials cost and donate labor. Xe sets xyr inventory at 1,
|
||
base price at $100, commission at 15%, and shipping at $20
|
||
(there will be regional categories for shipping. it’s not
|
||
relevant here so ignore it).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Alyx’s painting might be bought for its base price + shipping
|
||
($120) in which case xe would get $100 * .15 + $20 = $35. Or
|
||
maybe xyr painting is bought for a bit above its base price,
|
||
$130 + $20 shipping = $150. In this case, Alyx would get $130 *
|
||
.15 + $20 = $39.50.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(In these cases, TR makes $85 and $110.50 respectively.)</p>
|
||
</details>
|

<details>
|
||
<summary>Babs</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Babs creates a series of tooled leather keychains. She can’t
|
||
afford to donate much. She sets an inventory of 4, a base price
|
||
of $20, a commission of 50%, and a shipping price of $10.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
If all of Babs’ keychains sell, she will be compensated, at a
|
||
minimum, ($20 * .50 + $10) * 4 = $80, half of which covers
|
||
shipping and half of which is commission. If some of her
|
||
keychains sell for elevated prices — let’s say they sell for
|
||
$25, $40, $20, and $30 — she will be compensated, forgive my
|
||
ad-hoc math notation but hopefully it gets the point across
|
||
without being exhaustingly long... sum of ([$25, $40, $20, $30]
|
||
* .50 + $10) = $97.50, $40 of which is shipping.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(In these cases, TR makes $40 and $57.50 respectively.)</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(Also, if any keychains don’t sell, Babs retains the keychain
|
||
and can resell to anyone she desires.)

<summary>Coral</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Coral creates a phone wallpaper with their digital art skills.
|
||
They don’t care if they receive anything for this, and they want
|
||
their item to be accessible and for everyone. They set their
|
||
inventory at 50, their base price at $5, their commission at 0%,
|
||
and their shipping at $0 (digital purchase).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Regardless of how many sell, Coral doesn’t get anything but
|
||
satisfaction of helping. (And exposure, but like, don’t work for
|
||
exposure kids.)
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>(In this case, TR gets $5 * # sold.)</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
(Coral retains the rights to their digital art and can continue
|
||
to resell and reproduce it after the exhibit — this goes for
|
||
physical reproducible art as well).

<details>
|
||
<summary>How is fulfillment handled?</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Individual artists are responsible for their work’s fulfillment.
|
||
After an order, relevant buyer details (address/phone/email, or
|
||
just email for digital) will be forwarded to the relevant
|
||
artist(s).
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Yes, this means if you buy items from multiple artists you will
|
||
pay multiple shipping fees. That’s just the way it’s gonna be. I
|
||
don’t want all of this stuff in my living room.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Missing or damaged items will be dealt with case-by-case with best
|
||
effort, but this is a fundraiser so do be kind about it. Let’s
|
||
hope we don’t see much of that.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>Returns are not a thing.</p>
|
||
<details>
|

<summary>
|
||
If shipping is per-item, why bother having it listed as
|

shipping? Just bundle it.

</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Clarity of information. Helps you understand where your money’s
|
||
going. Also, I want to encourage artists to actively plan for
|
||
all shipping eventualities and think through what they want to
|
||
offer.

<p>

Our opening dates are Sep 15th, Oct 15th, and Nov 15th of 2024.
|

Artists will pick an opening date on sign-up. The show closes Dec
|

15th, 2024.
|

</p>
|
||
<details>
|
||
<summary>Why 3 opening dates?</summary>
|
||
<p>
|
||
3 opening dates allows variable time for artists to prepare.
|
||
Artists may choose the opening date that best works for them
|
||
with the understanding that a later deadline leaves them less
|
||
exhibition time and therefore less chance to sell.
