Shipping & Delivery
-
Shipped artwork must arrive in reusable containers/boxes with reusable padding.
-
Frames should be wrapped in bubble wrap, bubble pouches or plastic bags with minimal tape. Plexiglass/acrylic is required in any framed artwork that is shipped to the gallery.
-
Artist is responsible for costs to deliver or ship art to gallery and for return to artist. Please include a pre-paid return shipping label in the delivery packaging if shipping.
-
Boxes or crates must be re-usable. Use of packing peanuts is forbidden, use minimal packing tape if wrapping pieces with bubble wrap. Give this some thought – if you tape up the padding like a mummy, then we will have to cut apart your padding to get to the art.
