JOIN THE ARTISTS' GALLERY
This virtual gallery provides the opportunity to easily browse through a variety of art and allows both artists and art buyer to eliminate the burden of high gallery commissions. Since everyone benefits from the increased viewership that comes from displaying more different artists work, please pass the word to your friends who may want a good place to show and sell their work online. Even if you have your own website, it benefits you to be listed in The Artist's Gallery because potential buyers who come to browse can be introduced to you and your work. Your contact information can then refer them to your own site if you wish..
If you would like to join The Artists' Gallery it is easy to do:
You need to send your name, address, phone #, email address and photos (slides, prints or jpeg digital files) of at least 4 pieces of your work (if you do more than one kind of work please send several examples of each kind you want to exhibit).
If you have questions or would like to join please contact:

The Gallery Committee juries all applications to insure that the work to be displayed is high quality. After receiving your on-line or mailed in information, we will usually arrange a follow-up studio visit to see your work in real life. You will be notified promptly of the Gallery Committee's decision.
The Artists' Gallery Membership fees:
Initial Setup fee: $50.00 Includes listing on the Gallery index and your own individual Index and Information page. This page presents a photo of you along with your bio and background about your work and your contact information. It also has the visual index of your work in linked thumbnail images.
Item Page fee: $10.00 (multiply by the number of items of work you want to display.) Each piece of work that you display on The Artists' Gallery gets a page for itself, showing the work in a larger size along with media, size, framing info., description of the work, your sales/contact information and price.
Join the The Artists' Gallery Website family.
If you already have your own site it can be interlinked with a listing in The Artists' Gallery main index. (In this case you would only pay a $30 set-up fee and later the $25 annual maintenance fee.)
Don't have your own site yet?
The Artists' Gallery can build one for you at a very reasonable cost. One of the main advantages of having your own site is that you can choose to have a shopping cart system where customers can purchase your work directly through your site using a credit card.

Sales and Delivery
Each artist handles the sale and delivery of their artwork individually. Contact information is provided to buyers on each artist's individual index page.
"BUY NOW" Buttons: It is the administrative policy of The Artists' Gallery not to have the shopping cart function of "BUY NOW" buttons on each for sale item shown in the Gallery because it is not the Gallery's function or responsibility to handle financial or shipping arrangements. HOWEVER as this is a VERY desirable and convenient way to sell things online, we offer our member artists the opportunity to have their own individual website which supports the shopping cart system. This personal site will be connected to The Artists' Gallery so as to maintain the advantages of a group display space. It is easy and cost efficient. LEARN MORE.
