Frequently Asked Questions
What is Apostrophe Puzzles?
Apostrophe Puzzles is an Atlanta based jigsaw company that champions the work of contemporary artists of color. We are Black-owned, woman-led, and working to contribute to a culture of art consumerism that is accessible and sustainable for all. You can learn more about us here.
How is Apostrophe Puzzles different than other puzzle companies?
There are so many wonderful companies out there, and we are so glad to be making beautiful puzzles alongside them. Our products are unique due to our exclusive focus on the work of contemporary artists of color and our royalty structure, which gives 12% of each purchase back to our artist collaborators.
We also have partnerships with non-profit organizations where an additional portion of each sale is donated to expand arts accessibility and education in communities of color.
Are your puzzles only for people of color?
Of course not! Our puzzles are for anyone seeking new and compelling puzzle designs and a bit of a challenge. Our focus, though, is on amplifying, highlighting, and valuing the work of contemporary artists of color, and encouraging others to learn more about and engage with their work.
Are your puzzles eco-friendly?
Yes! Our puzzles and our packaging are responsibly made and environmentally sustainable, consisting of 100% recycled chipboard, eco-friendly, non-toxic ink, and recyclable plastic wrapping.
Where are your products manufactured?
Our products are manufactured both locally and globally. Our first two collections were produced in China before we transitioned to a local manufacturer. Our products are now made in the U.S. We carefully select our manufacturing partners to ensure our products are high quality, and made with fair wages and safe working conditions.
What is your return policy?
Our goal is for every customer to be totally satisfied with their purchase. If this isn't the case, let us know and we'll do our best to work with you to make it right. Please visit our Shipping + Return page for more information.
My puzzle is missing a piece! Can you help?
We know it's extremely frustrating to finish a puzzle and not be able to see the whole image in its entirety. If you are missing a piece due to a manufacturing error or pet interference, email us at support@apostrophepuzzles.com and we'll do our best to help you out.
Who are your featured artists?
We love them so much! All of our puzzles feature work by contemporary artists of color, and at least 12% of each puzzle purchase goes directly back to them. Every product page has a link to learn more about each artist, and we highly recommend checking them out - they're pretty amazing (you can also do that here).
