Sending artworks rolled in a tube is often the most economical way to ship artworks internationally and can usually be done at very low cost from almost anywhere in the world.
Artists are also welcome to send their works already stretched, mounted on board or panel, or fully framed if preferred.
Artists from anywhere in the world can send canvases rolled in a tube, often reducing international shipping costs dramatically.
Complimentary Canvas Stretching
✓ Free professional stretching (including installation preparation) for canvases shipped rolled in a tube with stretcher bars included.
To support artists and help minimise shipping costs, the Chianciano Biennale offers complimentary professional stretching for canvases shipped rolled in a tube when the artist includes the stretcher bars in the shipment.
If stretcher bars are not included, we can provide bars and stretch the canvas locally according to the price list below.
In addition to canvas stretching, we also provide mounting and framing services for a wide range of artworks, including works on canvas, paper, photography, board, panel, and other supports.
Depending on the artwork and the artist’s preference, artists may request:
• stretching only
• framing only
• stretching and framing together
These services are only required if the artwork is selected for exhibition.
