Framing:
The Coalition on Homelessness cannot assume responsibility for artwork received without protective covering.

circumstances the Coalition on Homelessness may be able to work with artists to find alternative ways to frame
and display artwork.

Within a month of the auction, each artist will receive a receipt for artwork sold. A check will be mailed with the
agreed commission. All donations to the Coalition on Homelessness are tax-deductible as applicable by law. We
are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Coalition can provide written acknowledgment of art donation for tax
deduction purposes, if requested.

Artists will be notified by phone or e-mail if their work does not sell. Artists should pick up their work between
September 16th and September 30th from 468 Turk Street. To arrange a pick-up date and time, email
cohartauction@gmail.com or call Arefa at 415-346-3740 x 303. If the artist does not pick-up their piece or make
alternate arrangements for a pick-up, the artist acknowledges a complete donation. The piece will become
property of the Coalition on Homelessness. The Coalition on Homelessness can use the donation at its discretion
for further fundraising purposes.

Participating art donors will receive free admission to ArtAuction15, including drinks and food.
