Artists who have been accepted to the platform: Congratulations and welcome to AllArtWorks! We are excited to have you! Important ACCEPTANCE DETAILS below!

If you are here just considering submitting your artwork, this page contains SUBMISSION DETAILS, ACCEPTANCE DETAILS and CONTRACT DETAILS:

Before you get started, there are a few things to know.

 

SUBMISSION DETAILS

  • Submit 1 to 20 pieces (we typically accept 1-2 pieces from new artists, but having more work to review provides more context, making the jury selection more coherent!)

  • 2-D work only

  • Maximum 36" in either dimension

  • File format: JPEG

 

ACCEPTANCE DETAILS

  • All accepted work must be mounted to wood no less than 1/2” thick (i.e. stretched canvas, collage on wood or stretched canvas, drawing mounted on wood or stretched canvas, watercolor mounted on wood or stretched canvas. PLEASE NOTE: if your work requires modification to be compatible with our frame, please only do so AFTER work is accepted!

  • Photographs need to be printed on metal, with wood attached to the back in the manner and configuration of stretched canvas. We need this so we can attach our floater frame to your photo, and because it is not framed behind glass. PLEASE NOTE: if your work requires modification to be compatible with our frame, please only do so AFTER work is accepted!

  • If you have any further questions you can call 917-572-0175

 

CONTRACT DETAILS (full contract available through the Terms of Service)

  • By paying the acceptance fee you agree to AllArtWorks Terms of Service. The Terms of Service (the contract) starts on the date the artwork goes live on the site, and is good for 1 year. This is an automatically renewing yearly subscription and requires submitting a form of electronic payment.
  • The $15/piece fee goes toward professional photography of your work, 1 year of storage, insurance, and participation in our physical shows, and is non-refundable.
  • AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OF YOUR UNSOLD WORK. This is a subscription which will renew automatically. We will send notice a month prior to the end of the contract, and you can decide not to renew then if you so choose. If you choose to renew, you do not have to do anything!
  • Your work is fully insured while in our care.
  • You are responsible for shipping your work to AllArtWorks and our team manages order fulfillment after a piece is sold through AllArtWorks. We recommend adding your shipping costs into your price.
  • If after 1 year the work doesn’t sell, and you do not wish to renew, you are responsible for return shipping.
  • Sales: Each artist receives 60% of the declared value of the work. The listed price will be the declared value plus cost of frame and cost of shipping to the buyer from AllArtWorks. AllArtWorks sends payment 7 days after the buyer receives their piece. Timing of receipt of payment can vary depending of fabrication of frame and duration of shipment.
  • We often run sales through the platform. The discount always comes out of AllArtWorks commission, never from the artists’ 60% cut.
  • Your work will be professionally framed - this means we will put small screw holes into the back of your artwork. This will not damage your artwork.
