HOW IT WORKSWe market and sell your art via this site, ArtEarth, one of the most promoting destinations for serious customers wishing to buy art online. We will display, advertise and market your art online and offline, provide payment processing and credit card facilities, and work hard to bring appreciative customers to you. Selling your artMany online art galleries charge you whether or not you sell your art. This means their interests are directed towards recruiting as many artists as they can. They don"t care about actually selling your art providing you are still paying them. At ArtEarth we"re different. Unfortunately because our web space is limited we have to charge you if you want promoting more of your art work like 10. But we’ll reduced our commission from selling up to 20%. If you will chose The Standard membership we will only make money if you sell your art, by taking a modest commission of 25% from the selling price you set for each artwork. This is much lower than high street gallery rates, even though our costs are almost identical. It means our interests are completely in line with yours. We can afford to be choosy about which artists we represent, ensuring customers are only exposed the very highest quality art. There is absolutely no risk to you whatsoever; we carry all of the financial risk of running this site ourselves, including spending large amounts on search engine marketing and press advertisements. Your key responsibilitiesIn return for all the work we do and the money we spend on your behalf, we ask that you be a responsible and professional artist in the following ways:
For the full artist terms and conditions of service, please read the artist terms. You set the priceYou know how much your art sells for, so you decide the selling price of your art. We take a small commission of 25% from your price for The Standard membership or 20% from your price for The Premium membership, just like a high-street gallery would. Except, we take generally a lot less than high-street galleries. This commission covers our costs in advertising, marketing, customer services, credit card processing fees, invoicing, admin and VAT. You must include packaging and delivery costsYou are responsible for the costs of materials, packaging, and delivery to anywhere in the European Community. Therefore you must set your price to include this cost. As an established artist, you probably already know how much it costs to package and deliver your style of artworks. If in doubt, £30 is usually sufficient for smaller pieces. For larger or heavy pieces contact your preferred courier to establish the cost. Check delivery prices carefully as you are wholly responsible for the cost of delivery. HOW TO GET STARTEDTo get the ball rolling, please click the link below to create a new artist account.
