An auction sale commission check will be mailed to the donor within 5-7 business days of the winning bidder’s bank payment transfer.

Artwork Submission Guidelines
Please do not submit rolled artwork. Framed artwork must use Plexi, not glass. Submitted artwork must be a print, a drawing, or 2-d work that uses printmaking as the major technique in its execution. Please no sculptures or paintings on canvas/panel.

Artwork must be received by PrintMatters in good condition. Donated artwork is to be no larger than a substrate size of 48x48 inches.

PrintMatters reserves the right to refuse art donations that are deemed inappropriate or do not meet a high level of quality.

Please submit no more than 3 pieces of artwork per donor. Thank you!

Why allow drawings to be donated not just prints?
We realize most printmakers do not have their own printmaking press and studio in their homes and because of the coronavirus may not have been able to make prints at local printshops as well. We want as many of our artist friends that want to participate to feel welcome to do so with or without a press of their own.

Why allow for 50/50 donations?
PrintMatters is here for the art community and this fundraiser is an opportunity for donors to also personally benefit from the art auction of their artwork especially during this challenging time where artists need our support more than ever.
