Frequently Asked Questions

Submissions
• You may submit a maximum of two (2) wall hanging/2-D or 3-D works and a maximum of four (4) shrink-wrapped pieces. Quantities of jewelry and other small multiple items will be determined on an individual basis. For questions, call 617-369-3656.
• Work in multiples (jewelry, ceramics, cards, etc.) must be labeled by the artist before dropping off the work. Each label must have the artist’s last name, price of work, and artist’s inventory number, which you will receive via e-mail after you have pre-registered your work. If this has not been done when you drop off your work, you will be expected to do it at the School, which could take some time.
• We are unable to accept: wet work, clip frames, flat-file or un-framed/non-shrink-wrapped prints, and Saran-wrapped, poorly taped plastic, or excessively fragile work. Shrink-wrapping must be professionally executed.
• Please DO NOT register your work online until you know exactly what you are submitting. While you will have the ability to make changes after you register online, we strongly encourage you to make any changes prior to October 19, as making changes during drop-off days will be difficult and time-consuming.

Pricing
• Artists set prices before registration to reflect the retail prices of their work.
• Price changes during the Sale will be considered on an individual basis, and by artist consultation.
• Artists seeking advice on pricing are invited to attend the Pricing Clinic & Information Session (see below for date and time).

Sale of Work
• The sale price of any work sold is split evenly between the Museum School and the artist. The Sale accepts submissions with the recommendation that artists represented by galleries inform their galleries of this arrangement.
• Artists split the proceeds from each sale with the School's scholarship fund, or may choose to donate a piece outright. If you are interested in donating your work at 100%, check the corresponding box on your online registration forms.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE HAVE EXTENDED DROP-OFF DAYS BY TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS. WE WILL NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, TAKE WORK THAT IS DROPPED OFF LATE.

The drop-off process takes approximately 30 minutes. If you registered online in advance, the process should take much less time. Parking is available in the parking garage adjacent to the School.

• Work must be delivered in person during drop-off hours by the artist or a representative.
• Each piece of work that is dropped off must be accompanied by a completed registration form that you will complete online at home prior to drop offs or at the School during drop offs.
• All participating artists must submit a Consultant Waiver Form (required for payment) at drop offs. Consultant Waiver Forms are available prior to drop offs as well as at drop offs.
NOTE: If you are dropping off someone else’s work, this form requires the artist’s social security number.
TIP: Buyers are always interested in knowing about the artists exhibiting in the Sale. Participating artists are encouraged to submit résumés online (in Adobe format only) or to attach a business card or résumé to the back of their work. We recommend artists remove personal information they do not want shared from their résumés.
