FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
 
How can I attend this event?
Thanks for asking! Please note that due to overwhelming demand this is a ticketed event. Though tickets are now sold out we are exploring the possibility of releasing more tickets in the immediate future, please make sure you're signed up for our email list to keep up to date.
 
I have a ticket, what time should I show up to the gallery?
Congrats on scoring a ticket and we're excited to have you join us! Please note that camping is not allowed at this venue and anyone who lines up more than an hour before their ticketed time slot may be asked to leave. If attendees disturb the rental venue or our neighbors we may have to implment a last minute lottery system to disperse the line , please do not line up more than one hour before your ticketed time slot.
 
I have a ticket, what else do I need to bring with me?
Please make sure you bring your government issued ID, tickets are non-transferrable.
 
I'm interested in purchasing a work by Chuck Sperry, will anything be avaialble for sale at the show?
Thank you for your support of Chuck's artwork, you're in luck! We will have some stunning new work available in a wide range of price points for collectors and fans of all types.
 
Will there be limits on how much I can purchase inside the gallery?
Unfortunately due to the popularity of the artist and the very limited nature of these works we do have to implimenent strict limits in order to ensure that everyone who attends the show receives a fair opportunity to purchase work. 
 
The limits will be one-item-per-category-per-person on the following :
Original canvas paintings,  new wood panels, archive wood panels, framed archive paper prints, unframed archive paper prints, oversized blotters, Idyllion books, & postcard sets.
 
I know that some items are incredibly limited edition in nature, but my ticket isn't until Sunday! Will the best items be sold by the time I visit?
This is a great question and a very reasonable concern. Making sure that we can make as many fans as happy as possible, and spreading the love as fairly as we can is our biggest priority for this show.
 
In order to ensure that, we will be restocking some items randomly throughout the weekend. Other items that are incredibly hotly contested, such as the Diana panel, will be made available via a lottery system throughout the entire weekend to ensure that everyone who attends the show receives a fair chance at purchasing.
 
Beyond that, we have limited the number of tickets to match the quantity of inventory we'll be bringing, so folks who come on Saturday or Sunday won't leave empty handed.
 
How much should I budget in advance to attend?
Making sure we can accommodate all our fans regardless of their budget has been a priority for us. On the more affordable end of the spectrum, limited edition postcard sets and Idyllion Silver books are only $40 and $50 each. Limited edition oversized blotters are our mid tier offering at $300  and we have a wide range of archive paper prints in the sub-$500 range. Wood panels start at $2000 for brand new designs and go  higher for more rare archive editions. Original one of a kind canvases will be $4000.
 
I'm travelling from out of state to attend this exhibition, are you able to offer shipping?
Thank you so much for travelling out for our show, that really means a lot to us! In order to accommodate our travelling fans we have set aside an allocation of wood panels which will ship from our warehouse in Berkeley, CA. Please note that these panels may take 6-8 weeks to frame and ship and that there will be an additional shipping fee.
 
For unique items like original canvases and framed archive paper prints we encourage you to pick those items up on Sunday evening, if you are unable to do so we may be able to arrange shipping for an added charge. 
 
Works on paper (such as blotters, unframed archive paper prints, and books) will be available to take home at the time of purchase, please note we cannot offer shipping services for those items. We recommend you bring your own mailing tubes, kraft paper or any other items you may need to transport your works on paper home safely.
 
I can't make this event, will there be an online release?
It's a bit too early to tell just yet, however we do hope to have some works available for our online fans. Please make sure you're signed up for both the Harman Projects email list and for Chuck Sperry's email list to ensure you're kept up to date. We also recommend you follow us both on Instagram.
