WAYS YOUR CREDIT CAN BE USED
Featured artist offers value through maximised artist profiles and visibility while encouraging the use of our services and allowing us to continue to grow. Featured artists will have 600 HKD credit available per year. If the credit is not used by the end of the year it will be deemed as a payment. Here are the ways credit can be used:
Artwork Sales
Credit can be used for sales! If you sell a artwork we typically take 30%. If your artwork sells we can pay you back your credit. So typically if a artwork or print sells for 3000 HKD we would take 900 HKD (30%) as commission. However for a featured artist you can use your 600 HKD credit resulting in a commission of only 300 HKD. This is designed to encourage artists to use and promote their online shop and to share links to their work on our site.
Fine Art Printing
Credit can be used on all print orders. As a featured artist you can use your artist credit any time throughout the year to print with us. You can also share your credit with friends to print with us.
Advertising
We have advertising blocks on our website that can be purchased to help advertise your exhibitions, workshops, artwork or other creative businesses. At the moment advertising blocks cost as little as 500 HKD a month. Instead of paying you can use your credit for advertising.. You can also share your credit with friends to advertise with us.
Contribute
Jump on board and help contribute to the site by writing for us! We are always looking for blog content and all articles are credited to writers with a direct link to their website or social media. It could be about your art practice, advice on techniques, an exhibition review, your favorite art supplies or how to make a papier-mache dinosaur… the list is endless. Get an article published with us and we'll pay you back your credit (100 HKD per article). Note: blog articles can also contain your Youtube videos (if relevant).
More To Come
We will continue to think and discuss about more ways credit can be used and how to maximise the value and offerings for artists.
