Rules of Sale
Luck of the Draw Sale:
The sale starts at 5:00 PM on Saturday, November 8, at the Amon G. Carter Jr. Exhibit Hall (Round Up Inn).
If you’ve purchased a ticket for the sale, you’ll receive a ballot book. This book has one ballot (slip) for each piece of art in the show.
Each ballot book is assigned a unique number tied only to you, the buyer.
How to Try to Buy a Piece:
Decide which artwork you want to purchase.
For each one:
Write your name on the ballot that matches the artwork number (each artwork has a box with a number next to it).
Drop your completed ballot into the matching ballot box next to the artwork.
The ballot number must match the box number!
How the Sale Happens:
At 6:30 PM, the ballot period ends, and the drawings begin.
For each artwork, three names are drawn at random from the ballots.
The first name drawn gets 30 minutes to claim the piece by signing a receipt.
If they do, the artwork is marked SOLD.
If the first person doesn’t claim it by 7:00 PM, the second name has 30 minutes to buy it.
If the second person also doesn’t claim it by 7:30 PM, the third person can buy it.
After 7:30 PM, any unsold artwork is available first-come, first-served.
If the Artwork is a Sculpture with Multiple Editions:
The drawing continues until all available editions are sold.
The first confirmed buyer gets the piece from the exhibit.
Others who are drawn and confirm the sale will receive their edition shipped directly from the artist after the event ends.
