Artwork Submission Guidelines
*Please read carefully*
All 2-D artwork MUST be framed and/or ready to hang with wire in good condition. If submitting a drawing or print, the piece must be matted with the ability to hang or with a magnetic hanging frame. if artwork is sent not ready to hang, Redux will handle framing at a minimum cost which will be deducted from artist portion of the sale.
All artwork information entered in our online submission form is needed for our promotional and printed materials (labels, website, social media etc.). Please make sure all submitted information is accurate and formatted accordingly.
Work must be dropped off in person or shipped. If shipping, please use UPS or FedEx and send a tracking number to auction@reduxstudios.org. The package must include a return shipping label.
We prefer work that has been completed in the past two years.
Retail value:
Please include the retail value for each piece you submit. Based on years of auction data, works valued under $1,000 tend to perform best in sales. Artwork with a retail value exceeding $10,000 will not be accepted.
Starting bid price:
Redux will determine starting bids by using an industry-approved formula, factoring in the retail value of each piece and drawing on insights from previous auctions to ensure an appropriate starting price.
Sales split: We strongly encourage a 100% donation of artwork to support the important work of Redux in the local community and help us advance our mission, but we understand that this might not be possible for everyone. Artists have the option of splitting the sale of the work 30:70 with Redux (with 30% of the sale going to the artist).
Artists who donate 100% will be acknowledged as Artist Sponsors at the event and in promotional materials, and will be invited to attend the VIP Artist Circle Party on Thursday November 13th. If you donate 100%, the sale amount of the piece is tax deductible and Redux will provide the appropriate documentation for tax purposes.
