Return of drawings
For the return of drawings to artists (that were not sold), we repack the drawing in its original packaging. Once the work is packed, we will provide quotes for return shipping. After the exhibition ends, drawings must be collected and collection must be organized within 4 weeks of an artist being informed that the drawing is ready for pickup. Drawings that are not collected within 4-weeks (of an artist being notified that the drawing is ready for collection) are donated by the artist to Oasi, unless other arrangements have been made.
