Registration terms
Acceptance criteria
The works of art must be genuine original works (not copies or prints of) by the submitted artist and must not infringe any copyright laws. The Island of Art community reserve the the right to refuse a particular work of art without giving reason
Island of Art will act as a non-exclusive agent on behalf of the owner or collector to sell his or her artwork via the island-of-art.com website.
Website content
Once registration for membership has been approved, the artwork will be uploaded to the website.
The seller must supply all the relevant information on the images and details (title, price, medium, dimensions, and any provenance etc.) of their works of art to be placed on the Island-of-Art.com website. Please note the website will automatically optimise the images and carry a watermark to help reduce the risk of your images being used by others
Sale of artwork
The seller will be notified when a potential buyer has made an offer or expressed an interest in a particular artwork. It will then be the responsibility of the seller to negotiate with the buyer on a price to be agreed between them, for payment, and to dispatch the artwork to the buyer. The Island community does not negotiate on behalf of either the seller or the buyer as that is a personal transaction
It is the seller's responsibility to ensure that the artworks for sale on the Island-of-Art.com website are available and have not previously been sold. When an artwork is sold (either via the Island-of-Art.com website or otherwise) it is up to the seller to notify Island of Art that the listing is to be removed from the site or its description changed to indicate it is no longer for sale
Membership costs:
Annual Membership is free
Membership renewal:
Island of Art will review all memberships at the end of every year to ensure that the relationship is still beneficial to both parties.
Artist's Resale Rights:
As this website only lists secondary artwork from private individuals and collectors the Artist Resale Rights may not apply. However if any individual is found to be trading commercially, then it will be the responsibility of the individual and not Island of Art to declare the interest to DACS
