Reasonable care and precautions are taken for the safe custody of works of art deposited at MAC galleries.

The MAC reserves the right to request complying changes or to reject the work(s) on delivery.
Deposited artwork that is not picked up within 30 days of scheduled artist pickup date will become property of the MAC.
