At no time is BCA responsible for the cost of providing new packing materials; any cost incurred as a result of replacing damaged packing materials will be the responsibility of the Artist.
SALES
Whenever an Artist delivers, or causes to be delivered, a piece of art to BCA for the purpose of sale, or exhibition and sale, to the public on a commission, fee, or other basis of compensation, the delivery and acceptance thereof by the Gallery is deemed to be on consignment. Art sold on consignment is based on a 40% commission structure to the Gallery unless otherwise noted. Prices for said items shall be set by Artist but approved by BCA.
In special circumstances, BCA reserves the right to discount artworks up to 10%. In the event of a discount, BCA and Artist evenly split discounted price, 50%, or otherwise agreed upon.
If a sales contact was made through exhibition at BCA, resulting in a sale made directly by Artist through his/her studio or other sales venue, honor code suggests a partial commission rate be made to BCA Gallery commensurate with an agreed upon rate of 20%.
Loans will be on consignment through BCA for one year or as long as the work is available for sale. Work will remain in the possession of BCA while on exhibition, until a point of sale or for a time negotiated between BCA and the Artist.

BCA will pay consignment commissions to Artist once a month on or around the 15th or within two weeks from the date of sale.
