2020 National Exhibition Accepted Artist Instructions

Congratulations on being accepted into this year’s 29th National Exhibition to be held at RS Hanna Gallery, located in Fredericksburg, Texas, from August 17 – September 19, 2020.

  • 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 hand-delivering your artwork, or sending your artwork in a commercial art box, such as AirFloat, MasterPak, Uline, etc., you do not need to pay the un-crating fee. However, you still need to complete the form below. NOTE: Federal Express Premium Art Boxes are acceptable but the Federal Express large frame box is not. Also, Home Depot boxes and 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. And, please do not forget to insure your painting!

There are two ways to send your label:

1. Include a paid, printed return shipping label with a bar code and send it in with your painting. Be sure to use the yellow envelope to make it easy for the gallery to see your label.

2. Email your pre-paid shipping label directly to RS Hanna Gallery at RSHanna2020@gmail.com. Be sure when you email your label that you include your name in the subject line. Example: “John Michael Carter – Return Shipping Label”.

Out of Town Artists artwork to arrive at:

RS Hanna Gallery
603 FM 2093, Suite 1502
Fredericksburg, TX 78624
(830) 307-3071
