Guidelines and general questions

How will I know you've received my work?

You will receive an email notification when your artwork is received and processed by Visual AIDS. After the sale has ended, you will also receive a notification email to let you know if your artwork was sold.

Please make sure you have entered your email correctly on our online form!

What if my work doesn't sell?

Sometimes artwork does not sell during the sale. If you would like to ensure the return of your work in the event it does not sell, we ask you to cover the cost of return.

We require a donation of at least $5 to cover the cost of return postage and packaging. If you make a donation, you are not required to enclose a return envelope or postage. We are unable to return artworks outside of the United States.

If your work does sell and you have paid for return shipping, it is considered a donation to support our work. Thank you!
