Please allow for an additional 2-4 weeks production time, depending on the current framing schedule, for the frame to be made, after the closing of that month's show.

-That could be for a few reasons, if the buyer is from out of town, we may have let them take the piece with them day of purchase. This is a special circumstance, and more rare, but an accomadation we have made on a few occasions.
- We were not provided enough information to properly identify you/ your piece, so we will be posting montly on socials to try to identify any unmarked pieces still outstanding. But this is also why the intake submission form is now required prior to any submission.
- The size requirements were not met , and we are unable to house it. in which case, we will be reaching out to accommodate next steps.
