We also need you to print out the label information (click on the link on the left, the label is included with the copy of the Call for Art (on the third page) and attach it to your piece.

When you ship or deliver your piece, download the attached form, (click on the link at left, label is on page 3) print it out, fill it out, and attach securely to the back your painting, or at the bottom of your sculpture. When shipping artwork, please label your artworks name on the outside of the box with your name, this helps us to locate your shipping box when returning. Special Information regarding shipping your work: Remember, shipping and insurance are ONE-WAY. Please DO NOT ask for a required signature on your artwork, unless delivering through USPS. Artwork is safely delivered without a signature through FedEX and UPS. Drivers are well aware of our shows and delivering and picking up of artwork. We are housed on 12 acres with a Gallery and 2 personal studios, as well as our house. The drivers know where to leave the artwork out of the weather and safely behind the locked fence area. If we have to leave the gates open, then we get "curiosity seekers" coming through unannounced throughout the day. We are very busy throughout the work week, and keep our gates closed for that reason. If you feel that you still need a required signature, then please send through USPS. The post office will send us a note and we can pick up your work at our local post office. Pricing and sales: All art work must be for sale. The Institute will retain 100% of the sales to support its mission. We ask that you give us your retail value which will be noted on the label. Unless a piece is considerably smaller or larger in value, they will be priced or auctioned accordingly. There will be a silent and live auction. Paintings and raffle items of greater value will be live auctioned. Paintings that do not sell through either auction will remain hanging for sale throughout the duration of the show. It takes a lot of work to organize and hang an exhibition. You can help by following the instructions and respecting the deadlines. Thank you!
