Artists will be responsible for artwork transportation and packing to and from the museum and artists assume risk for damage during transportation and installation. Sales of work will be the responsibility of the artist including the collection and remittance of applicable sales taxes in accordance with state and local regulations. Featured artists agree to help promote the exhibition through their social media and other networking channels. Upon invitation to participate in the exhibition, the artist will enter into a contract to be agreed upon by both parties before the exhibition.
