Q2 : If I join the Artist Gallery Program, can I still sell my work on another site? Yes, most certainly. The Artist Gallery Program functions as an option for artists looking for a free online venue to promote and sell their art. |

Q3 : Will you own the copyrights for my images? No, we will not. The artist retains the copyright of their artwork. When a customer decides to purchase your artwork, we make a print of it and process the sale. We do not at any point obtain copyright over your work. |

Q4 : How do I create an Artist Gallery? First, e-mail us us a link to your website, or up to 5 high-resolution images of your artwork to be reviewed. Once your account has been approved, you can upload high-resolution images of your artwork to your gallery by logging in to your account. |

Q7 : Your office is located in Vancouver. Why do you have a website for my city? We have many websites for the many different cities we service.

We invite you to join and create a gallery of your own! |

Q8 : How can I change my prices? Just log in to your account and visit your online gallery. Under each artwork you will see an Edit link. You can set any pricing you like. |

Q9 : What if I don't sell any artwork? If there is no purchasing activity on your account for over two years, we may notify you regarding deactivation. |

Q10 : Can I get some advice/suggestions on how to price my artwork? (I've never sold any before). Select "base plus 20%" option to start. If you see sales, you may increase this amount later. |
link |
Q11 : Will I receive a notification if any of my artwork is purchased? You will receive an email when a customer purchases your work. You can also track your sales by logging into your account and going to the “sales report†link. |

Q12 : Can you clarify and maybe provide an example with a dollar amount on how the pricing works (in terms of how much I receive)? If the default price of a print is $100 and you have selected "Base plus 20%" as pricing level, we will display $120 as the price, and you will receive $10 + $20 as commission. (10% of the base price and 20% commission). |

Q13 : Do you have any recommendations for what to put on my gallery profile? You may find it useful to introduce yourself to viewers by providing some background information, describing your art practice and processes, and indicating your areas of specialization or interest. Use a descriptive title for each artwork to give viewers a better idea of the piece, and to make your work more easily searchable on the internet. |
