Artwork Delivery
Deliver to the HAS Studio between 10am and 5pm Friday 15 November, or by prior arrangement.
If you have received an acceptance letter, following your submission of artwork into the 2024 HAS Spring Salon Exhibition, the following details are for you.
The email sent to you contains label sheets for you to print off, cut out and securely attached to the back of each of your artwork pieces plus the information needs to be on the front of the packaged artwork. If you are submitting works on paper you may write the details lightly in pencil on the back if you are worried it will show through. Refer to that email - do not request the information from our staff.
Your artwork needs to be packaged securely for storage. We have over 250 works coming in and whilst we will make every attempt to protect your work, you can make it much easier for us by properly protecting your own work.
Framed works, works on canvas etc should be wrapped in sturdy paper, card or preferably in bubble wrap. We have a small amount in the stock room if you need some. Please make sure D-rings and wires are attached. Works without fittings may not be able to be accommodated in the exhibition.
Works on paper need to be delivered in a folio. You can use a pre-made one or make your own from card stock. As your folio will have your name on it we will endeavour to return it to you.
All artwork must be submitted to the HAS studio preferably between 10am and 5pm on Friday 15th of November. If you are unable to deliver between these times, we will accept artwork delivered during your normal studio sessions prior, if that artwork is placed on the designated shelves in the storage room. You must sign (and date) your artwork in the sign-in book in the storage room near the entrance to the change room. Please take pity on the poor volunteers who waste inordinate amounts of time trying to chase up missing artwork only to find out it has actually been delivered.
Please be very careful when putting your artwork on the shelves or in the large artwork storage area. Each artwork is precious to someone. Do not damage other artists’ work. If you can’t find a space for your artwork please leave it on the central table rather than risk damaging anyone else’s work.
Non-compliant artwork or artwork received after this time may not be included in the exhibition.
After the exhibition, all unsold artwork must be collected from the HAS studio by 5pm Monday th 25th of November 2024, unless prior arrangements are made. Artwork not collected by this time may be disposed of or given to the abstract painters to paint over.
Sold work will be packaged and the buyers will be contacted for collection from the studio.

All framed artwork must have D-rings and hanging wire attached;
