Artists can keep 100% of their sales if they process their own sales. If your process your sales through our platform we will collect a 30% commission from all prints sold during the exhibition. Please indicate the sales price of your print, including frame/finishing. If your finished piece is not for sale, simply note NFS. If your work is accepted and you do not indicate a sales price, the artwork will be listed as NFS.
If work is accepted:
- Artwork must be ready-to-hang using wire stretched between D-rings on the back. Sawtooth hangers are NOT permitted. Please use white mats and white or black frames that are gallery quality and complement your work (color mats are NOT acceptable). Plexiglass must be used with the frame, NO GLASS ALLOWED. Photographs printed on metal are allowed but must be framed, with the photograph safely recessed from the front of the frame, and packed appropriately.
- Clearly label the back of your work with your full name, address, telephone number, email address, image title, medium, dimensions, and sales price or NFS. GodArts reserves the right to exclude works from the exhibition that are not gallery-ready and professional in presentation.
- A prepaid return shipping label MUST be provided with your work for prints to be returned to you when the exhibition concludes. Work WITHOUT return shipping will NOT be included in the exhibition and will NOT be returned. Please keep a copy of the prepaid return shipping label and your receipt. Packing peanuts are NOT permitted. Please ship prints in a flat box (do not use moving boxes) as our storage space is limited.
- Artworks will be return-shipped in the container in which they were received. If additional exhibition venues are added, artists will be notified with location, dates, and other pertinent details, and work will be return-shipped from the final venue.
