Why is Artful Vision a juried website?

A juried site benefits the artist because it provides a balance of well crafted items in each category; complementary vs. similar items.

Non-profits promote Artful Vision to their members through email, newsletters, flyers and other media. Customers can shop by category, artist or price.

Is there a limit to the amount of artwork I can list for sale?

100 items.

Who sets the price for artwork?

Each artist is responsible for setting the price of their art.

How are you currently marketing your work - Art Fairs, galleries or online -- or maybe all three?

The expense of an art fair can be 50% or more of sales, and galleries take 40-60% commission. In both cases, you are limited to the number of people who will actually see your work.

If you build an ecommerce site of your own, it's time consuming and expensive; or you can join a large-scale online gallery and your work will be lost among thousands of other sellers competing for the same customers.


If I exhibit on Artful Vision, can I exhibit my work on other sites?

Yes. Our only request is that your prices are the same wherever your work is displayed. If you have a personal website or show at art fairs it is your responsibility to keep track of what is available and what is sold. You can add or remove items at any time.

Do I need to sign a contract to be on Artful Vision?

No.  Once accepted to our site you remain active as long as you are creating art for sale. We require that you accept the terms and conditions of Artful Vision, which are binding as long as you are a member. You may withdraw, without penalty, from the site at any time.
