Do you want to showcase your art to a wider audience and earn 100% of your asking price? At The Art Exchange, we connect emerging artists with local buyers who appreciate original, one-of-a-kind works. We take care of the marketing and sales process, allowing you to focus on creating while we handle the rest. It’s completely free, simple, and designed to bring your artwork to a broader, local audience.

We are always looking for new pieces to add to our collection! To start the process, please see the steps below.

Steps to Get Started

Notify The Art Exchange

Complete this survey or email Eleanor at theartexchange@outlook.com. From there, she will make you a folder on Box, where you can submit images of your works.

Submit Images of your Artwork

Each artwork should be accompanied by at least three high-resolution images (300 pixels per inch) with a white background. Alongside the images, provide information including the title, dimensions, medium, a brief description that highlights the inspiration and theme of your work, and of course- the desired price for each piece. This can either be sent in an email to Eleanor or can be noted in a comment under each file.

Review and Sign the Agreement

Each artist will need to read and sign the Exhibition/Independent Contractor Agreement which outlines the rights, responsibilities, and expectations of both parties. An IRS W-9 form must also be filled out and signed for tax purposes. Copies of these files can be downloaded from our website or provided via email.

Selling Your Artwork

Once your artwork is listed on our website, we will actively promote and market your work to attract potential buyers. To sustain our operations and continue supporting artists like you, our online gallery applies a buyer’s commission of the greater of $40 or 20% of the selling price to each piece. This commission, along with sales tax and any applicable shipping and handling fees, will be added to your desired fee to determine the final selling price.

Payment and Delivery

Upon the sale of an artwork, you will receive an email notification from theartexchange@outlook.com. Eleanor will coordinate with you to schedule a convenient pickup time. We will handle everything related to the transportation of the artwork to the buyer, ensuring it is safely delivered. Payment for sold artworks will be remitted to you within 14 days following the sale, using a mutually agreed upon method.
