Shipping information
We know that shipping to the US is complex, stressful and expensive.

For all our clients from Europe, Africa & Asia we offer the following shipping process: you ship your artworks to our venue in Hungary, where the individual artworks will be repacked in one collective package and then shipped to the US. This way we can guarantee that our shipping colleagues will deal with all the issues with shipping, customs and last mile delivery for you. This is why the shipment to the Golden Duck Gallery has to be completed by the 10th of March, 2024. Yes, the deadlines are tight, but a one-year show in New York is worth it, ain't it?
Choose to submit
The office buildings are located on Broadway and near Times Square, serving up to 200 dynamic entrepreneurs a day. With great coworking spaces, meeting rooms, conference halls it is an elegant and charming place for every businessman.
Seeking perfection is never easy. With 2 locations and all-in-all 5 floors to manage, Nomadworks is a coworking office space that exceeds our imagination.
Thus coworking seems a bit far from art, Nomadworks exceeds the limits of imagination in terms of artistic management.
Hundreds of magneficent artworks shine in pride on those walls, giving the offices a unique feel and a tempting design.
Apart from just being part of the interior design, those artworks also form an exhibition. Paid guided tours are organized on weekends on a regular basis.

This fee is $30 per way (Base destination - New York or the other way). You can read more about the Golden Duck Gallery's role in the exhibition in the Contracts part of this webpage.
The shipping fee may vary. You will have to pay the shipping to Budapest, then to New York. The shipment to New York is made in collective packages, so you will have to pay your part of the cost of the package.
Your part is measured by the number of artworks shipped together, e.g. if a package contains 8 artworks, you will have to pay 1/8 part of the shipping cost.
If the artwork is not sold in New York, you will have to pay the shipping back to Budapest and to the place of your residence.
