Theft, Damage or Loss: Dogwood Arts agrees to notify Artist within 36 hours by telephone, e-mail, and/or written notification upon the event of any theft, damage or loss that occurs while artwork is in the possession of Dogwood Arts.

Insurance/Artwork Inventory: The Arts & Culture Alliance provides up to $25,000 of insurance on all artwork within the Emporium. If necessary, Artist will insure work above that amount. Artist must furnish Dogwood Arts with an inventory of artwork to be exhibited, including the title, media, and sale price prior to the exhibition opening. Dogwood Arts will provide Artist with an Excel spreadsheet for this information, which will be used to generate gallery tags for artwork. Unclaimed work is not insured after the posted pick-up date. Artists are responsible for insuring work while in transit.
Transportation: Moving or shipping artwork to and from the Emporium/Dogwood Arts will be the sole responsibility of Artist.
Installation: Works must be suitably framed/mounted and WIRED to hang.

Dogwood Arts reserves the right to inspect and, if necessary, prepare or request Artist to prepare the artwork for exhibition according to said standards. Dogwood Arts reserves the right to refuse to display any object for any reason.
Multiple Use Policy: The Emporium Center is a multi-use space available to individuals and organizations for public and private events that are arranged through ACA. All functions must be deemed appropriate to the facilities and must not interfere with normal working conditions or current arts and cultural programming. No renter will be allowed to rearrange, modify, or remove any artwork or cultural programming present in the Emporium, not even temporarily during the renter's scheduled event. However, there may be times when ACA deems it necessary to adjust the position of an artwork in order to protect it from possible damage during an event. If that occurs, ACA will make every effort to contact Artist to arrange for the artwork to be moved. If Artist is unavailable to move the object, ACA will adjust the position of the artwork, taking every precaution to preserve the integrity and safety of the artwork.
Publicity: Artist agrees to provide Dogwood Arts with biographical information, artist's statement, digital images, and other materials as requested. Artist agrees to allow Dogwood Arts and the Arts & Culture Alliance to photograph Artist's artwork for publicity, education, and catalog purposes.
