Welcome to Essential Artwork
First of all, welcome to our site, we hope you enjoy your visit.
Essential Artwork allows artists from the UK to exhibit their artwork in a 24 hour
gallery for maximum exposure to the potential art-buying public. Visitors to the
site should find our search functionality
very useful and easy to use in order to locate suitable artwork.
Unlike high street galleries and many other online galleries, all our artists will
pay no commission on any of their sales. There is a free basic membership which
limits the artist to a maximum of 5 items of artwork or alternatively, the artist can pay a small monthly fee
(or annual fee which works out slightly less expensive) to use a Silver or Gold
account which allows more artwork and other features. Please view the
Membership Comparison page for more details.
With a free 1 month trial period for Silver and Gold membership, there is nothing to lose for artists
wishing to have an online presence. If within the trial month, the artist decides
not to become a member, they simply cancel their subscription online through PayPal
and are not charged a penny. Since the Bronze membership is free all the time, no trial exists for this level.
No 'middle-man'
Any transactions which arise from the site will take place directly between the
artist and the buyer as we feel there is no need for a third party in the transaction.
If the artist has signed up for PayPal, that can be used as a valid payment method
but if not, the buyer can contact the artist through the site to find out how they
go about purchasing an item of artwork. This allows each artist to have their own
specific policies on packaging, refunds and other transaction details.
Please enjoy your visit
We hope you enjoy using the site and keep an eye out for new features as they will
be added continuously. If you think of something which you'd love to see on the
site, please let us know
and we'll do our best to make it happen.
