Artist Data Entry Program - ADE

ADE is a web-based inventory program that lets you easily enter information about each item, set a price, print item labels, and print an inventory list of all items you have entered into the Show & Sale.  ADE opens for Artist member use on July 1st each year.

Artist Data Entry Program
Consignor Access

Consignor Access is a web-based program providing real time status of your inventory during the Show & Sale. Selling price, commission paid, and running totals are provided. Consignor Access is activated after the close of Monday Check-In once all inventories have been accepted and entered.

  • Save this email - Consignor Access - Email Subject Heading - Consignor Access Invitation
    This email will contain your specific Consignor ID, password and link to the Consignor Access site 
  • Watch YouTube Video - Consignor Access
Inventory Worksheet

The Inventory Worksheet is included for Artists without a computer to fill out prior to being assisted with data entry and also as a convenience for those who would like to use it before the Artist Data Entry Program is available. Every inventory item must be entered into the Artist Data Entry Program. To use the xlsx version of the inventory sheet, you will need Microsoft Excel, or other software such as LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or Google Docs. 

  • 2023 Show & Sale inventory sheet: Word | PDF | Excel (xlsx)
Care & Content Tag Template

The Rules & Regulations require care and content labels/tags on every  inventory item.

Note: These tags are provided as a courtesy . You do need to use these specific tags. You may continue to provide care and content tag information as you have done in the past.

This pdf template allows printing tags to blank stock making tags easy to fill out and attach to your items.  These tags can be printed on the same business cards that ADE uses ( standard 2 x 3.5 business card - for 10 up on a 8.5 x 11 sheet). When printing labels to your local printer, we recommend downloading the PDF into Acrobat Reader and print from it. You can control the fit of the page better.

Donating Items to the Strickler Fund
The Carol Strickler Scholarship Fund was established to provide a monetary award to any qualified HGB member to assist in their technical and aesthetic development. Members may donate items to be sold at the Show & Sale with proceeds going to the Strickler Fund.

    HGB Fiber Art Show & Sale - Sales Analysis

    Wondering how to price your items for the Show & Sale?

    The Sales Analysis provides a treasure trove of information - every item, every category, every price point.

    New to the Show & Sale 

    Are you new to the HGB Show & Sale? Here's an overview to give you an idea of what it's about.

    General inventory items in the Show & Sale are not juried, yet all items available for purchase at the Show & Sale must meet minimum technique, quality and readiness for sale standards outlined in the Rules & Regulations.

    Only the Showcase portion of the Show & Sale includes a juried application process. The Showcase has its own distinct deadlines and requirements.

    Every inventory  item, including any Showcase item, is entered in HGB's custom Artist Data Entry Program. This is a web-based program that lets you easily enter information about every item, set a price, print item labels, and print an inventory list of all items you have entered.

    Anyone who participates by entering items in inventory is required to work shifts at the Show & Sale. The number of shifts depends on the total quantity and dollar value of the items you want to sell. HGB uses whentowork.com to manage Show & Sale shift reservations.

    HGB reserves a 25% commission on all items sold at the Show & Sale. Should anyone not fulfill their shift work requirements, HGB reserves an additional 15% commission-- the Guild would prefer that you work your shifts.

    Members who work with the Show & Sale Committee throughout the year usually receive some shifts credited to them for their work before the Show & Sale. This is a great way to get to know a lot of people really quickly, and helps support the guild.
