<p>As Brigitte mentioned I have a lot of information on my website and ASK Harriete about shipping in addition to the program sponsored by the Professional Development SEminar about shipping sponsored at a past SNAG Conference.</p>
<p>I will provide links below and recommend sending the links to a suitable program or post to participants in your exhibition. This may eliminate some headaches.</p>

<p>Oh, YES! I sent work -- two teeny boxes -- to Canada last year with the required "For Educational Purposes/being returned to the states" paperwork and got slapped with $400 customs and brokers' fees. It will be a looooooong while before I send work abroad. </p>

<p>Thanks! That IS a great idea about everyone having to curate a show, isn't it....and if anyone blasts about it being the young and "inexperienced" artists who shirk the duties that come along with promoting and exhibiting work, I would have to respectfully disagree. It is some artists...period. All ages! </p>

<p>Boxing and shipping is fraught with disappointments, misunderstandings, inattention, and accidents. It's always a big risk. Let's not even talk international shipping.</p>
<p>Some have tried to insure the work while on the road - and found out that filing insurance claims is another nail to our coffins.</p>

<p>So true! And on the other end, it is VERY frustrating for us artists when we send our work EXTREMELY well packed and protected, with instructions for repacking (and we aren't talking rocket science here) and the gallery/museum/curator/ etc sends it back with the packing material floating around and the piece not wrapped, just thrown into the box!</p>

<p>And YOU are my rock star because of your preparedness & consideration!</p>
<p>If artists only understood how much work goes in to these shows, especially when there is no gallery support or financial backing.</p>
<p>I agree with Alice Simpson.. EVERY artist should be required to curate a show.</p>

<p>Another truly horrible aspect is when work arrives damaged due to faulty or non-existent wrapping/boxing/packaging of the artwork. The amount of times I received delicate, breakable work simply stuffed into a padded envelope and kissed good-bye is astonishing. The work arrives damaged and the artist has "no idea" how this could have possibly happened. Right.</p>
<p>Harriete Estel Berman has a bunch of really good advice on her website, I encourage everybody to look it up!</p>

<p>To note for others: I am in Shana's exhibition of which she speaks. WHEN did I have MY stuff she required in, and my art delivered to her?! WAY before due! I may make the odd mistake, but I try to never infringe on hardworking art supporters' time. And, like Shana, I am learning to let go, which is why three of the artists are O-U-T. </p>
