We’ve compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions about our gallery and services. If your question isn’t addressed below, please feel free to contact us.
-
This flexible, transparent approach allows you to gain exposure without losing freedom; making ART[s] a fresh and artist-friendly alternative to the usual galleries or online platforms.
-
Step into a new way of working! We do not require exclusivity, charge no participation fees, and have no hidden agreements. You remain in full control at all times. Your artworks are showcased on our platform, where they can be selected for exhibitions at any of our galleries or discovered by design professionals within the ART[s] network.
-
We keep you informed of every step or opportunity via our ART[s] platform with a push notification by email. When you are selected for an exhibition, you will receive a message via our platform. In addition, the gallery manager will personally reach out to you to coordinate details and the works. Once you’re enthusiastic and your work is available, you officially become part of the exhibition.
-
Exhibition Setup:
Six weeks before the show, you bring the works to the gallery. Please avoid using tape so that packaging plastic can be reused and make sure your artworks are ready to hang. We unpack the works together and ART[s] will set up the exhibition. From the moment your work is in our gallery, it is insured and under our responsibility. If transport costs are involved, please share them upfront. After approval ART[s] will equally share the transportation costs towards the gallery with you.Marketing:
ART[s] handles the marketing of each show with great care and energy. We expect high-quality photos and a short video as input for the marketing. See also the question: What does ART[s] do for marketing?Communication:
Eight weeks before the show, it is announced which works by which artists will be on display in the gallery. At that point, we create a group chat including all artists and several ART[s] staff members for daily communication about the show.Open Days:
Our mission is to ensure that during the open days, visitors can have direct contact with the artists. Your presence is highly appreciated for one afternoon (max 3 hrs). Through the group chat, we ask who can be present when and we create a schedule for each open day.Sold Works:
When a work is sold you are informed within 24 hrs. ART[s] takes care of delivery and transport to the customer. Payment takes place within one week after the customer has paid. More information about costs and payment can be found below.Collection of Unsold Work:
Even after the show, we continue to promote the artworks.One week after the open days, the unsold artworks can be picked up. Together we will pack the works. From the moment they leave the gallery, you are responsible for the works again. The transportation costs back to your studio are at the artist’s expense. -
If the work is sold, ART[s] will arrange delivery to the buyer. If your artwork is unsigned, we require a signed certificate of authenticity. You can find good examples online.
-
Yes. Successful collaborations can be continued. Through our platform, we can showcase your work to interior designers and architects within the ART[s] network, or you may be selected by another ART[s] location. No additional action is required on your part.
If you prefer to keep it to just one collaboration, you can easily unsubscribe from our ART[s] platform.
-
The mission of ART[s] is to make the art world more human and transparent. All operational costs are covered by the organization itself. The only expenses for artists are the transport costs to our gallery and the return transport costs if the works remain unsold after the show.
-
When we successfully sell on your behalf, you are responsible for paying the VAT. Our commission fee is 50% of the sale price excluding VAT. The legally required VAT on the commission fee can be reclaimed by you from the tax authorities.
We will provide you with full details of the sale so you can keep your accounting perfectly up to date. After payment by the customer and delivery of the artwork, the proceeds will be transferred to your account within one week. Our commission fee is market standard.
Example: If a work sells for €1,000 (incl. VAT), 9% VAT (€90) is for the artist. The remaining €910 is split equally: €455 to the artist, €455 to ART[s]. In some cases we agree upfront about the production costs (f.i. bronze). This is all detailed in the payment summary you receive.
-
We are passionate about showcasing our artists in the most inspiring and impactful way. That’s why we ask you to provide high-quality photos of your work and, if possible, some personal shots of you in your studio. We proudly feature this material across our website and social media platforms to reach a wide and engaged audience. Plus, any photos taken during exhibitions in the gallery are freely shared with you to further boost your visibility.
