ARTspace99 has resumed accepting artist submissions.
As always, there are no application fees.
To be considered, email 3-10 images* (JPG, PNG, or GIF files only please) of pieces available for sale along with these details:
__title
__media/material
__size (of image unframed)
__size of frame (if applicable)
__weight
__are you able to box the item safely for mailing if needed?
__your expected net $ if the piece sells**
__is it signed?
__if yes above, signed where?
__OPTIONAL BUT HELPFUL: if the piece was shown at any notable venue/s, please note the site/s.
Please also include artist exhibit highlights or a web link for where your exhibit history may be seen.
You don't need a fancy exhibit history as many good artists don't have the means to exhibit full-time; however, you will need to be a reliable honest person.
*IMAGES
To expedite your submission, please with underscores not spaces (no commas or symbols), use this filename system:
99+qq+your initials_size_media_year_title_materials_price(reversed)
So
Roy Snizzle's 55 x 93 inch 2019 oil-on-canvas called Can't Touch This Pickle with found objects and wire, for which ze wants $1750 ideally would be named:
99qqRS_55x93in_oil_on_canvas_2019_Cant_Touch_This_Pickle_with_objects_and_wire_0571.jpg
Please have accurate color and make your pic at least 1000px on the smallest side.
**Price note: your net is the amount you hope to get after expenses directly associated with the sale. Expect your list price with the gallery to appear as 25% higher than your intended net. That's to cover the Artsy.NET commission (15%) and the Stripe fee (4%); Stripe is the secure credit card payment service Artsy uses. That leaves an additional 6% above your net to help cover the cost of boxes and mailing. Example: if you wish to have $1000 for a piece, expect it to appear on Artsy/ArtSpace99 at $1250 so that you actually ~do~ wind up with around $1000 when all is done. Our default is for the artist to pay for boxing and mailing. If you would prefer to have the gallery add a flat rate shipping fee, inform ArtSpace99. Our default is to disallow direct collector-pickup of art from your studio; if you prefer to allow such, again, inform ArtSpace99. Giving a tip to your gallerist is voluntary and at whatever amount you wish.
Put "ARTspace99 submission (artist name)" in the subject line; artists unable to follow this simple subject line request will go to the bottom of the pile of artists to be reviewed.

INVITED IN?
Congrats then --Terry thinks your art says something important. Note: usually Terry prefers to group artists whose art somehow gets even more interesting when mixed with some others. It is not that someone is "unworthy" of a solo; rather, it is almost always that the curatorial direction is toward "this artist would look great with this other artist" --and so exhibit concepts develop. Why pairings and groups? Well, try red wine with honey-drizzled gorgonzola and walnuts and pear slices sometime --fantastic! Each is worthy and good on its own too, but together --oh! And so if you're nominated for a group show, that's what is happening. You might be wine who'd be great with a nut or a cheese wedge. Or you might be the nut. Roll with it. It'll be good.
ABOUT
ARTspace99 in 2020 is turning commercial and is moving all activity to the selective high-end online art venue, Artsy. Artist Terry Ward curates the program and means to focus on unrepresented artists (plus some secondary market sales of known artists). The Artsy page should be operational starting in May-June of 2020. ArtSpace99 began in 2013 as a non-selling non-commercial curatorial "fantasy league" gallery doing "worldwide online virtual exhibits" (WOVEs). The online gallery of WOVEs will remain here. New activity and sales will all go through our Artsy page. Just as it is "dirty pool" for a gallery-represented artist to bypass the art dealer and make separate deals, so also ARTspace99 will not make separate sales deals: we will do all sales through Artsy. Please, potential patrons, respect this. ArtSpace99 began as and remains a virtual gallery. Our nominal location will be New York City because Artsy's physical address is there. Art will ship mostly from locations in Virginia or directly from artist studios. ArtSpace99 is not "case-sensitive": writing the name as ARTspace99, ArtSpace99, Artspace99, or artspace99 is left to the writer, though please note there are no spaces or hyphens.
