What you must do to use a drop-off location
1. Email enter@paintontario.com
Tell us which location you want to drop your work to.
We will reply with confirmation and instruction.
2. Etransfer the $10 fee to: gbacetransfer@gmail.com
3. Properly prepare your work for transportation and the show. Be sure your Exhibit label is securely affixed to the back of each piece. (labels were provided by email you sent yourself on your accepted artwork status page)
Wrap your piece with protective cardboard, corners, front and back. Bubble wrap is also fine. Clearly label each piece on the outside with: Paint Ontario and your Full Name.
We will try to keep the artwork wrapping for possible return.
If your work doesn’t sell
We really hope your pieces sell. However if they don’t, we can return them to you. There is a flat rate shipping fee per piece of $50. (If possible, we will combine pieces together for the $50) Contact organizers at 519-238-1155 to confirm your piece has not sold and you would like it shipped back.
