Sales: Prince George’s Community College Galleries at the Library retains no commission for the sales of artwork and does not handle transaction of sales. If parties are interested to purchase works on exhibit, the library will exchange contact information between the prospective buyer and the artist; it will be the responsibility of the buyer and artist to negotiate the sale. The library will need confirmation from both the buyer and artist that the transaction has occurred, otherwise works will be returned to the artist.
Installations: All works must be received ready for installation- including already attached wires and/or D-rings. The Galleries at the Library will provide hooks, screws, and light anchors. Works that require cleats, clips, magnets, or other fastening or hanging implementations or instructions are the responsibility of the exhibiting artist to include with the work at the time of delivery.
Refusal: The Galleries at the Library reserve the right to refuse works that do not resemble works submitted, or that are otherwise not ready for installation. The artist will be responsible to retrieve the work before the conclusion of the exhibition.
Agreement: All accepted works must remain for the duration of the exhibition, January 2017 to June 2017. Artists must be prepared to deliver or ship work by January 17, 2017.

The Galleries at the Library and the jurors reserve the right to reject works that differ from the submitted image, nor are they responsible for works left after the pick-up dates following the close of the exhibition.
