Artists that are shipping their work - Artists are required to put a return shipping label inside the box if they are shipping work. No packing peanuts allowed. Artwork should be professionally packed for shipping to prevent damage during transit. For example, FedEx does a great job preparing art for shipping and we’ve never had damaged artwork that was packed by FedEx.
