Q. How do I describe and classify my artwork for
Art-Impact?
A. To keep our search engine efficient, artists will need
to provide detailed inventory information for each piece
of artwork that is submitted. This will enable the site’s
management to classify, describe, and price the artwork. For
more information, visit the Artwork Submissions page and download
the Artwork Inventory PDF.
Q. How will buyers search for my work on Art-Impact?
A. As you submit your artwork listings and images into our database, we will record the artist’s name and the title, style, color, subject, size, price, medium, and keywords of the artwork. All buyers and visitors using Art-Impact’s
search tools will be able to locate your artwork by searching
with some or all of these criteria.
Q. How do I establish pricing for my artwork?
A. Each artist is responsible for determining exactly
how much he is to be paid for each artwork displayed on
Art-Impact. This price is known as the net-due-to-artist. The artist is guaranteed to be paid
exactly this amount whenever a piece is sold via the Web site.
We also ask the artist to suggest a retail price for the
artwork. Art-Impact’s administration is responsible for finalizing
the retail price. This is the amount that will be displayed
on the site. The difference between the retail price displayed
and the net due to artist price is Art-Impact’s commission
for maintaining the Web site, promoting the artwork, and
conducting the sale. The artist will submit pricing to
Art-Impact using the Artwork Inventory PDF found on the
Artwork Submissions page.
Q. Are there other factors to consider when I
set prices for my artwork?
A. Yes. The artist will ship the artwork to Art-Impact, and
we will ship the artwork to the buyer. This means that each
artist is responsible for factoring into the net-due-to-artist price all packaging, shipping, and
handling charges for insuring and delivering the artwork
to Art-Impact’s facilities. Please see the documents on
the Artwork Submissions page for more details.
Q. How will I know when an artwork is sold? What
should I do next?
A. When an artwork sells, you will be immediately notified
via e-mail or phone and told which piece has been sold.
Artists should package, insure, and ship artwork to Art-Impact’s
facilities and provide tracking information within five
days of the sales notification.
Q. How will I get paid for my artwork after it
sells?
A. Art-Impact will mail a check for the net-due-to-artist price that you have provided for the
sold piece of artwork. All sales are conducted on a 100% satisfaction-guaranteed basis. Once the artwork is received in good condition
and approved by the buyer, a payment-in-full will be issued
to the artist within a net 30-day schedule. Please see
Artist Agreement PDF on the Artwork Submissions page for
more details.
Q. Does Art-Impact require any sort of exclusivity
agreement for participating artists?
A. No, artists are free to continue to market and sell
their artwork through galleries, art brokerages, other
Web sites, etc. All listings on Art-Impact are posted as
“subject to prior sale,” which means that
if an artwork is sold outside of our Web site, the artist will
immediately notify the site’s administration, and the piece
will be marked “sold.” No commissions will
be due to Art-Impact for sales that are not generated
by our Web site. Please see the Artist Agreement PDF on the
Artwork Submissions page for more details.
Q. Does Art-Impact commission artists to undertake
customized art?
A. Yes. Please visit the Commissioned Artworks page for
details.
Q. How do I submit new artwork if I’m already
exhibiting on Art-Impact?
A. All new submissions, inventory information, and images
should be sent to submissions@art-impact.com or mailed
to our facility. Contact us with questions regarding new
submissions.
Q. How will Art-Impact be promoting and marketing
my art?

artists. We advertise in trade journals, relevant designer publications, industry showrooms, and via online-ad campaigns such as on Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
