Looking to sell your art online?

I'm hoping to involve artists alot more through my business Entirely Art in the future so this is just me putting 'feelers' out at the moment but...

Basically when i set up Entirely Art i set it up as an online store selling artwork, as time's gone on the business has concentrated on acting as an art consultancy, sourcing art and offering bespoke services including designwork! We have a lot of artists featuring on our site/portfolio but that's just for show and to get enquiries.
We still have an online store that's part of the site but basically going to waste....

So this is an idea i'm working on to help artists and start the online store going again..i'm going change things around and trial this for anyone who'd like to put work up there for sale..

  • it needs to be already photographed and looking sensational ;) as i just don't have the time to mess around editing other peoples images

  • you'd need to have a price set for it, with Entirely Art taking 25% commission, so your prices would have to allow for that

  • I'd allow you to be responsible for shipping of the work, to cut down on delivery times hopefully to the customer, but this would mean you been honest enough to include the Entirely Art branding when shipping anything sold through the site. With the benefit of the extra exposure this should be a reasonable request.

  • They'd be an annual fee, so you'd have to at least commit for a year. But i'm aiming to keep it low. There's similar shop ventures going on out there where your charged into the 100's for this. But initially at least i'd aim to keep it to £25 . This would cover my costs of maintainence/costs of the system i use to admin the shopfront and dependent on how many artists/creatives come on board may give us some extra advertising revenue to play with.

This is all still theoretical at the moment and up for discussion, but who thinks it'd be worth a go for their art products?
