How to prepare for the sale

• We recommend setting up an account profile in advance of the sale to store your shipping and billing information to make the buying process run more smoothly and quickly during the sale. You can register here.

• 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 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.

• Scroll down on the shop page to see all of the artworks. Buttons on the left will allow you to jump to a particular section based on artwork number, ie. Section 1-99, 100-199, etc. if you know the number you are looking for.

• 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 Pick Up

• We are happy to offer free domestic shipping for artworks via USPS. Postcards will ship out 5–7 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 1/20, 12-5pm and Sunday 1/21, 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 21. 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.

• All artworks are displayed without the artist’s name, but with information on title and medium. Sizes of artworks will only be noted if they are larger than 5 x 7.”

• 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.

• See the full list of participating artists here.

First Dibs Auction

• This year we are auctioning off the chance to buy one of the first ten artworks BEFORE the sale officially opens on Saturday, January 20. The highest bidder will get to buy the first postcard, the second highest bidder will buy the second postcard, and so on for the top ten bidders.

• The auction will open at 1:00pm on Friday, January 19 and close at 6:00pm. Payment and postcard selections must be received by 8:00pm or your bid will be forfeit.

• In order to participate in the First Dibs Auction, you must purchase a VIP Preview Ticket here. Ticket holders will receive a link to register for the auction.

• Bids can only be placed online. You will be notified by email and text (if a phone number is provided) when you are outbid from the first place position. However, you will not be notified if your position falls from the first ten places; you must monitor the auction yourself.

• Although the auction platform will indicate only one single winner, the ten highest bidders will each win the opportunity to purchase a postcard before the sale officially opens. After the auction closes, Visual AIDS will email and text the ten highest bidders with a payment link.

• Please be prepared to share the postcard number that you would like to purchase. If you are not the top bidder, you should prepare a list of alternate postcards in case your first choice is already purchased. Payment and postcard numbers must be received by 8pm in order to secure your purchase.

• Please note that you are bidding for the opportunity to purchase a postcard, not the postcard itself; you will be asked to pay $100 for the postcard as well as the full amount of your winning bid.
