About Us

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.
