Artists are responsible for shipping work insured BOTH WAYS to and from the gallery. Work will be accepted on memo and insured on the premises. Artist receives 47.25% of suggested retail price: this takes into account a 5% donation of all sales to Made by Survivors, split equally between artist and Manika Jewelry.
