FAQS
My work was accepted for an upcoming show — what do I do next?
If your work has been accepted, you will receive a confirmation email with your contract, deadlines, and links to upload your artwork details. Please review this email carefully, as it will include important information such as drop-off dates and submission forms. We’ll also send reminder emails as deadlines approach.
When do I drop off my work for a show?
Your confirmation email will include the official drop-off deadline, which is typically one to two weeks before the show opens. Drop-offs take place during regular gallery hours: Thursday–Saturday, 12–8 PM.
What if I am shipping my work for a show?
Artists are responsible for all shipping costs for artwork included in shows. Please do not ship artwork directly to the gallery.
The correct shipping address and instructions will be included in your confirmation email.
My piece sold — when will I receive payment?
Payments are issued within one month of the show closing. You will be paid by check or PayPal based on your contract and preferred payment method.
