How it Works
Western Visions® Intent To Purchase Sale Format
- Each artwork will have a fixed price and will be available for purchase through a randomized, “intent to purchase” draw format.
- Ticketed patrons may submit their name to the drawing for any and all lots they desire to purchase.
- The Conditions of Sale will apply.
- Intent to Purchase entries will be accepted in person, online, and by proxy form beginning August 1, 2024 until 6:45pm MDT on Thursday, September 12, 2024.
- Beginning Friday, September 13, 2024, public open sale will be offered in person and online through Sunday, September 29, 2024.
- All artwork sales are final and there are no exchanges, refunds, or substitutions.
Tax Deductibility
According to IRS Rules and Regulations, the only tax deduction which may be made related to the purchase of an auction item from a non-profit organization is the amount paid in excess of fair market value. We suggest that you consult your tax professional to determine the tax deduction(s) (if any) for your specific purchase(s).
Payment
- ALL ART PURCHASES REQUIRE PAYMENT IN FULL AT TIME OF PURCHASE.
- A buyer’s premium will be added to the fixed sale price of each Intent to Purchase artwork purchased and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The buyer’s premium is 17% of the fixed sale price if paid by cash or check and 20% if paid by credit card.
- 6% Wyoming sales tax will apply to the total purchase price for any piece picked up at the Museum or shipped within Wyoming.
- The buyer’s premium will be reduced to 12% on all sales made after September 12, 2024.
Shipping and Pickup
- The Western Visions® Show & Sale will remain on exhibit through Sunday, September 29, 2024. No artwork will be released prior to Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
- At the time of the purchase payment transaction, lot winners must declare whether they will pick up the artwork at the Museum or elect to have it shipped. All items must be removed from the Museum between October 1 and October 13, 2024 to avoid a $20 per day storage fee thereafter.
