Donating Artists: Artists donating to the Goblet Grab are encouraged to hand-deliver their work to the conference packed well enough for carryout. Shipped work must be received in Portland by June 13, 2008. GAS promises to handle your pieces with the utmost respect and care, and to update you on the status and sale of your donation, but we are not responsible for breakage, theft, or loss. If your donation does not sell, GAS will keep it to place in the next fundraiser or event to benefit GAS.

Buyers: Professional packers and shippers will be on site after the auction on Saturday evening. All purchases are final and must be paid for and removed from the premises during the evening. Items that are not removed will be shipped at the purchaser’s expense. No exchanges or refunds are allowed. GAS assumes no responsibility for the shipping of purchases or for those items not picked up immediately after Goblet Grab or the Auction. Once you have made arrangements with a shipping vendor, GAS cannot, by shipping regulations intervene on your behalf with the shipper. You must resolve any concerns regarding artwork damaged or lost during shipping by contacting the shipping vendor directly.
