Loan Agreement

South Seattle Community College Artist Loan Agreement

Shipping:
- Please understand that the SSCC Art Gallery is unable to fund shipping costs for works shown in the Gallery. That means that you are responsible for your shipping costs and arrangements both to and from the Gallery. The SSCC Art Gallery cannot be held responsible for damages incurred during shipment. Please package up your artwork very safely and consider buying insurance if you are concerned. The artwork(s) will be returned and packed by experienced employees in the same or similar materials unless otherwise specified and provided by the Lender.

- Ship only via UPS or FedEx

• Be sure to include a pre-paid return shipping label so that you can get your work back after the show is over. It is important that your shipper is aware that the return shipping label must include a call tag and/or shipping barcode. This is because your package will be picked up by a UPS/Fed Ex employee from the SSCC Art Gallery rather than being delivered to a UPS/Fed Ex store. Yes, this sounds like a lot of strange information for me to be giving you, but just inform your shipper know so that we can ensure smooth and time efficient travel for your package!

Care and Protection of your Artwork(s):

Your artwork will be cared for and protected to the very best ability of the SSCC Art Gallery. Your loaned artwork will be stored in a safe locked area or during open gallery hours, shall be under the direct supervision of a gallery employee. In no event shall the SSCC Art Gallery be liable for destruction or damage to the loaned object(s) caused by wear and tear, gradual deterioration, insects, vermin or inherent vice, restoration processes, hostile or warlike action, or confiscation by order of any government. All other types of damage or loss shall be covered while your artwork is under the care of the SSCC Art Gallery.

The Art gallery staff will do it's very best to keep your work safe and appropriately packaged in the meantime.

Artworks(s) shall be insured by the SSCC Art Gallery insurance policy during their time at South Seattle Community College unless otherwise noted by the Lender. In the case of loss or damage loaned artworks shall be valued at amounts agreed upon by the SSCC Art Gallery and the Lender. Insurance is not liable beyond the current market value of the art work. If foreign values are applied please be aware that these currencies will be converted into US dollars at the rates in effect on the date of the declaration of insured artwork(s).
