Record Keeping, Commissions & Check-Out Process
You are required to record and pay commission on all sales transacted at Art in the Park, including commissioned art paid for at Art in the Park Festival.
We expect honesty of all our participants. Thank you for your honesty and accurate records. The commission you pay supports a volunteer-run non-profit art gallery, scholarships, art classes, education, and more.
Carbonless sales sheets proved for recording all sales. Your name and booth number must appear on each sheet. Fill out sheets and hold them until collected by a Finance Office Volunteer. Record each sale and its amount in the columns provided.
If you have an alternative method of record keeping (square, register, etc.) please inform the Finance Director prior to the show to get approval.
Finance Office Volunteer (look for identifying name tag) will collect sales sheets on Friday evening beginning at 3:00 p.m. and on Saturday afternoon beginning at 1 p.m.
Finance Office Volunteers are just that - volunteers. Please treat them with kindness.
Commissions will be computed, and copies of sales sheets returned to you indicating commission due for collection period. Money will not be collected until Final Check-Out.
Commission due for total show sales is to be paid at Final Check-Out. Commission due for sales that occur between Saturday afternoon collection and end of show will be computed at Final Check-out and added to the total amount due.
Amount of commission is based on total sales before sales tax. Each artist is responsible for paying sales tax on all sales to the State of Washington. Income from this show should be reported on Department of Revenue Excise Tax form – Location Code: 0304 rate:.015.
