VERNISSAGE: will take place at 18.00 on Saturday 17 June, with the usual gallery method, i.e. with a toast in honor of the artists and guests.
SALE OF THE WORKS: the sale of the works is optional. If the artist wishes to give the gallery a mandate, a 15% commission will be applied on the final sale price, net of VAT. It is advisable to write the price anyway
DELIVERY OF WORKS:delivery must take place between 7 and 13 June and collection after 3 July. The installation of the show will be the responsibility of the gallery, it being understood that the arrangement of the works is at the total discretion of the gallery. The shipment will be at the artist’s care and expense, both for sending and for collecting the works. The gallery arranges for the packaging of the parcels for collection and the artist will send the courier of his choice for collection. (make sure you don’t send with couriers who are obliged to inspect the parcels… we do not deliver the paintings to couriers who have to unpack the package to check the contents… for example, it may happen that the waybill is marked ISPEZ IT2023. .. means they will open the package)
In the event that the work in competition has been sold before the review, it can be replaced by agreeing everything previously with the gallery for the best setting.
N.B. The gallery reserves the right to exclude from publication works and texts that are harmful or contrary to public morality, or that have contents of an advertising, religious, political or defamatory nature. Registration for the competition is reserved for artists and is not open to gallery owners, critics, promoters, organizers of artistic events and operators in the field of promoting artists.
For everything else, please refer to the general rules for exhibiting published on the ilmelograno.eu website
