Payments to artists for sold works will be made within 30 days of the last day of the exhibition. We will contact artists for their preferred payment method.
IF YOU ARE SHIPPING YOUR WORK: All shipping costs and liability for damage are the responsibility of the artist. A pre-paid shipping label for return shipment must be included with your work OR emailed by the end of the exhibition to info@kspacecontemporary.org with SHIPPING LABEL in the subject line.
Insurance: Works are not insured while on display, however, the gallery is climate controlled and protected by an alarm system. Our experienced staff and installers take precautions to protect the artwork at all times. We recommend that you insure your work if you so choose.
Abandoned Works: Works left at K Space Contemporary 60 days after the last day of the exhibition are considered ABANDONED. Abandoned works become the property of K Space Contemporary and will be disposed of, sold, or given away with no compensation to the artist.
