-
• All detailed logistics will be provided in your orientation package via email after your participation is confirmed. However, please note our general guidelines:
• Deadlines & Address: International shipments must arrive at our receiving address no later than 15 days before the exhibition opening. Please note that our receiving address may differ from the actual exhibition venue.
• Shipping Rolled Canvases: To reduce shipping costs, you may ship unstretched canvases rolled. If you choose this option, you must include the original stretcher bars in the package. Sizing standards differ between centimeter and inch systems; having your original bars ensures the work is re-stretched to its exact dimensions. NXERA will handle the re-stretching service in New York prior to installation.
• Hardware: Please include all necessary hanging hardware and fittings inside your package so the artwork is completely ready for installation.
• In-Person Delivery: Artists who are local or visiting New York may arrange to deliver their artwork personally directly to the exhibition venue.
• If you plan to ship a rolled canvas, please notify us in advance so we can coordinate preparation.
-
The artist is fully responsible for all shipping logistics, costs, and customs duties. This applies to both the initial delivery and the return shipment if the artwork is not sold. When shipping internationally, please ensure items are explicitly marked as "exhibition-only" or "temporary import" to avoid unnecessary customs delays.
-
Absolutely. We would be delighted to welcome you in person if you are able to join us in New York for the opening reception!
We will capture high-quality photographs and video documentation throughout the exhibition and reception, and share selected media coverage with all participating artists afterward.
-
Yes, we handle the entire sales process for you. Throughout the exhibition, our gallery team actively engages with visitors and potential collectors to handle artwork inquiries, manage negotiations, and seamlessly facilitate all purchases on your behalf.
-
NXERA Art Gallery retains a 30% commission on artwork sales made during the exhibition period, with 70% of the sale price going to the artist.
Once the gallery has received the full payment for a sold artwork, and after the collector received the actual artwork, the artist’s 70% share will be transferred approximately within 14 workdays.
-
No, there are no hidden or additional exhibition fees beyond the upfront participation fee. However, please keep the following logistical notes in mind:
Artist Responsibilities: Out-of-pocket expenses such as shipping, customs duties, insurance, and return shipping are separate and remain the sole responsibility of the artist.
Free Promotional Feature (Optional): We highly encourage participating artists to send us a short 20–30 second video introducing themselves, their art practice, or the work being exhibited. This is entirely optional, free of charge, and allows us to beautifully highlight you individually across NXERA’s media platforms.
-
We would be delighted if you attended, but it is not mandatory. Artists do not need to travel to New York; the installation and curation processes are handled entirely by our team.
-
You may ship your artworks either framed or unframed (canvas only).
Framed artworks must be ready to hang. If the artwork is created on a material other than watercolor paper or stretched canvas, it must be presented in a glazed frame.
If stretcher bars are not included in the shipment, your artwork will be accepted and displayed as unframed (canvas only). As different countries use different units of measurement, we do not provide canvas stretching services for artworks sent without stretcher bars.
To minimize risk and cost, we recommend shipping canvases rolled in a tube (including stretcher bars, hanging wire, and all necessary hardware, etc.). Please ensure you include a commercial invoice in your package stating: "For exhibition purposes only; artwork to be returned after the exhibition." In some cases, you may need to select the "prepay customs duties" option to prevent the artwork from being held at US customs. Please also include your email address so you can receive updates regarding customs. Consult your shipping carrier regarding the best method and required documentation for shipping artworks to the US.
-
The shipment back of unsold artwork has to be arranged one -two weeks after the exhibition.
-
No. Gallery admission is completely free and open to the public.
