2018 Western Regional Exhibition Accepted Artist Instructions

Congratulations on being accepted into this year’s Western Regional Exhibition to be held at Mary Williams Fine Arts, located in Boulder, Colorado, September 7 through October 6, 2018. Your painting is one of approximately 80 paintings to have been selected to be a part of this very special exhibition.

Your painting should arrive between the dates of August 13 – 17. Local artists should drop off their work between August 20 – 24.

Let your friends, family and collector’s know about this event by using this complementary template. Click here to download.

  • Confirm your Crating Method

    Please complete the form below so we can be prepared to receive your artwork, and return it to you properly.

    If shipping your artwork in a non-commercial shipping container, there is a $25 fee for uncrating (payable online via PayPal upon completion of this form).

    If you will be sending your artwork in a commercial art box, such as AirFloat, MasterPak, Uline, etc., you do not need to pay the un-crating fee. NOTE: Federal Express art boxes or homemade art boxes do not qualify under the un-crating fee exemption.

    Return label instructions are at the bottom of this page and will be displayed after page completion.
  • If you will be sending your artwork in a commercial art box, such as AirFloat, MasterPak, Uline, etc., you do not need to pay the uncrating fee.

    (Please note, if an art box is not used your painting will not be in the exhibition unless an uncrating fee has been paid.)

  • Your painting should arrive at the gallery between the dates of April 9 through April 20. Please uncrate your artwork or use a commercial art crate when delivering to gallery in-person. Any artwork that is crated using a non-commercial art box will be charged an uncrating fee.

Prepare Your Pre-Paid Return Shipping Label

OPA requires that you include a pre-paid shipping label to cover the return shipment of your painting if it is not sold. Don’t forget to insure your painting.

There are two ways you can send your pre-paid shipping label to the gallery.

a. First, include your return pre-paid shipping label in your shipment to the gallery.

b. Second, create your return shipping label and email it directly to the host gallery, Mary Williams Fine Arts . Be sure when you email your label that you include your name in the subject line. Example: “John Michael Carter – Return Shipping Label”.
