How to prepare for the sale

  • We recommend saving your payment information to your web browser to ensure quick payment on the day of the sale. You can also create an account when purchasing preview tickets.
  • When you pre-register, or as you are checking out, please include the email address that you check regularly, to ensure that you receive your receipt and other important information after you have completed your purchase.
  • Items will become unavailable to other shoppers ONLY when your purchase is complete, so if you intend to purchase a large number of artworks, you may wish to make multiple smaller purchases to ensure you can purchase the artworks you select. You can purchase as many artworks as you like, at one time or in multiple purchases.

Shopping

  • ALL sales are online, even if you are visiting the gallery.
  • All postcard artworks are priced at $100 each, which includes free shipping within the US. Sales tax will be added to your purchase. International buyers are welcome, but shipping will not be free.
  • If you know the postcard number you are looking for, you can enter it into the search bar at the top of the page. Make sure you do not have any filters selected on the sidebar.
  • Buttons on the left will allow you to jump to a particular section based on artwork number, ie. Postcards 1–99, 100–199, etc. 
  • Artworks will be marked as sold after they are purchased.
  • All sales are final. Please view and read carefully before purchasing to ensure you understand the size and medium of the work you are purchasing – we will not accept returns of artworks for any reason other than damage during shipping

Shipping and Pickup

  • We are happy to offer free domestic shipping for artworks via USPS. Postcards will ship out 7–10 days after the sale ends and you will receive an email with a tracking number once your postcards have shipped.
  • International buyers are welcome, but will be charged additional fees for shipping. International shipping is offered through USPS.
  • Purchased postcards may also be picked up at Berry Campbell during viewing hours only (Saturday 1/25, 12–5pm and Sunday 1/26, 12–4pm). Please be patient as it may take us a few moments to prepare your order for pickup. 
  • Do not attempt to pick up your artwork after Sunday, January 26. In order to streamline our post-event shipping process we will not allow pick ups from our office.

Artworks

  • Artworks generally range from 4 x 6” to 5 x 7” in size and are in a range of artistic mediums including painting, drawing, photography, collage, and textile, among others.
  • Some works are 3D or have 3D elements, unusual edges or items extending down or out from the surface. Unusual shapes will be noted in the medium description and should be visible in the image. Sizes of artworks will only be noted if they are larger than 5 x 7.”
  • All artworks are displayed without the artist’s name, but with information on title and medium.
  • The names of the artists who created the works you purchased will appear in your email receipt, sent to you directly after your purchase is completed. The receipt should appear in your email within a few minutes after your purchase.
