Exhibit Drop-off and Pick-up

In Person drop-off of Exhibit pieces
(Monday, August 14):

• Pre-registered rugs and exhibit pieces must be brought to Founder’s Hall for drop-off on Monday, August 14, 2023, between 1:00-5:00 p.m.
• A claim ticket will be issued for each piece. This ticket serves as owner identification and MUST be presented at pick-up on Saturday, August 19 in order to pick up the rug/exhibit piece. 
• Each exhibit piece MUST be clearly labeled on the back with the: name of the maker of the piece, city & state of residence, & title of piece. See image of tag below for example. (If the owner of the piece is not the maker, the owner's name, city & state must be on the label too.)
• Do not bring hanging rods or hardware with your rugs.
• You will need to take all wrappings and carry bags with you after your exhibit piece(s) are checked in. 
• Guilds and groups are encouraged to designate a representative(s) to bring your group’s pieces for their Group Exhibit. Check-in will go more quickly if they are grouped by the maker’s name.  

In Person pick-up of Exhibit pieces
(Saturday, August 19):

• Exhibit pieces will be ready for pick-up as soon as the take-down crew has all rugs down and organized after the show closes at 5:00 pm on Saturday, August 19.  No exhibit pieces may be taken down from the show before closing on Saturday, August 19. 
  
• The claim ticket issued at drop-off must be presented at pick-up in order to claim the entry pieces. If someone other than the owner is picking up the rug, they must have the claim ticket so that they can check out the rug on the owner’s behalf.
