STORAGE OF EXCESS ARTWORK:

Artexpo Las Vegas offers limited storage of excess artwork and does not guarantee space for all works.
Exhibitors are responsible for their artwork and materials at all times and should take care not to leave
materials in crates and boxes.

EMPTY CRATE STORAGE:

•   By order of the fire marshall, exhibitors will NOT be permitted to store empty crates, containers or boxes
    in their booth or around the perimeter of the venue during the show.
•   Empty crates and boxes, when properly marked, will be removed, stored and returned at the end of the
    show.
•   No empty crates or boxes can be used as display counters or props unless they are chemically treated to
    resist flames. Please place small containers inside larger ones to facilitate storage.
•   Once your containers are ready for storage, you are required to place one “EMPTY” sticker on each
    container. EMPTY stickers will be provided at the Exhibitor Service Desk. Containers with an EMPTY
    sticker will be removed and returned after the close of the show. Your cooperation in keeping the aisles
