Have you wondered what to do with your unsold inventory?
With Art:Crate you’ve found the answer. You’ll build income and expand your profile in the Metro-Atlanta area.
How does it work?
Art:Crate manages a collection of five pieces of your work that circulate through the homes of art collectors who subscribe to the service. Two additional pieces are held in reserve; when a piece sells we replace it in circulation with a work from the reserve. Your story is prominently featured and will be known to each collector whose home your work visits.
How do I make money?
You get paid a monthly viewing fee for each piece in active circulation until you’ve received your wholesale price, at which point the piece is sold. If one of the subscribers chooses to purchase one of your works, you receive the balance of your wholesale price immediately.
What kind of commitment do I have to make?
You commit to grant Art:Crate the sole right to rent, promote and sell each piece for a minimum of six months.
If a piece sells early, it will be replaced from your reserve, which you must replenish within 5 business days.
I have a gallery that handles my sales…can I still participate?
That depends on your existing contract’s terms. Send us a copy of your contract or put us in touch with your gallery, and we’ll determine if you are able to use the Art:Crate service.
What types of work can be included?
You’ll need to submit works with a consistent maximum size that are wall mount-ready and of retail value not to exceed $5,000.00 US.
