Have questions about scale, framing, or how a piece will look in your space before you buy? Reach out any time, we’re happy to talk it through. lily@formatofinearts.com
Orders from more than one artist
Some of our artists keep their work in their own studios, so it ships directly from them. If your order includes pieces from different studios or categories, each ships separately and the shipping for each is added together at checkout.
Pickup at the gallery
Always free, on everything, including Major Works. 100 W Main Street, Wytheville, Virginia. Thursday through Saturday 11 to 3, and by appointment Sunday through Wednesday. Work kept at the gallery is usually wrapped and ready within 24 hours. If a piece is coming from the artist’s studio, we’ll let you know when it arrives.
Damage in transit
If something arrives damaged, photograph the box and the piece before unpacking further and contact us within 48 hours. We’ll make it right.
