Artist Submission Guidelines
- Originality and Authorship
We value and celebrate creativity! Only artworks that you have personally created are eligible for submission to the Nadine Gallery website. By submitting your work, you affirm that it is your original creation, and you hold all necessary rights and permissions to share and sell it.
- Availability and Listing
Once your artwork is accepted by Nadine Gallery, it must remain physically available for sale until you choose to deactivate your account. During the term of your active account, your artwork will remain listed for sale, unless it is sold or removed by the gallery. Artwork cannot be deactivated or removed from the website prior to a sale unless your account is deactivated.
- Condition and Presentation
All submitted artworks must be in excellent condition and suitable for sale. It is your responsibility to ensure that your artwork is properly presented and ready for sale, including accurate descriptions, high-quality images, and any required certifications or documentation. Your artwork should remain in saleable condition throughout the duration of your active account.
- Copyright and Legal Compliance
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your artwork is free from any copyright, trademark, or contractual obligations that could hinder its sale or distribution. By submitting your artwork, you guarantee that it does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party and that you have the right to sell it.
- Marketing and Sales Management
Nadine Gallery will manage the marketing and sales efforts of your artwork. Our team of curators will decide which pieces are featured on the website, based on alignment with our aesthetic vision, the quality of the work, and other relevant criteria. While we strive to showcase all submissions, not all artworks may be selected for immediate promotion.
- Shipping and Delivery Responsibilities
Once an artwork is sold, it is the artist’s responsibility to handle the shipping and delivery to the buyer at their own expense. Artists are required to package and ship the artwork in a timely and secure manner. Nadine Gallery may provide assistance in accessing competitive shipping rates or offer guidance on international shipping requirements based on the destination country’s regulations. Artists must ensure compliance with local and international shipping laws, including taxes, customs duties, and import/export restrictions.
- Curatorial Discretion and Artwork Selection
Nadine Gallery reserves the right to curate the collection based on its vision and artistic standards. Our curators will review and select artworks that align with our gallery’s brand and mission. This includes ensuring that submissions adhere to our website’s policy of prohibited content, which includes but is not limited to: explicit material, plagiarized works, and anything that violates our ethical guidelines. We aim to maintain a high-quality and cohesive collection that reflects the gallery’s standards.
- Guidelines and Compliance
All submitted artworks must meet Nadine Gallery’s submission guidelines, which include but are not limited to: proper image resolution, accurate descriptions, and appropriate categorization. The curatorial team reserves the right to reject any submissions that do not meet these guidelines or do not align with our gallery’s policies. Artists are encouraged to familiarize themselves with all submission requirements and ensure that their work adheres to the specified standards.
- Account Deactivation and Artwork Removal
You may deactivate your Nadine Gallery account at any time. However, once an artwork is sold, it must remain available for the buyer, and the transaction must be completed. Your artwork will remain on the website until sold, or until your account is deactivated. Artwork that is not sold must remain listed for sale until you decide to deactivate your account.
- No Responsibility for Artwork Loss or Damage
While Nadine Gallery will make every effort to ensure a smooth and secure sale and delivery process, we are not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage that occurs during the shipping process. Artists should ensure proper packaging and consider purchasing insurance for their artwork during shipment.
