SUBMISSIONS TO THE ART RENTAL PROGRAMS
The AGP Art Rental and Sales Program is an opportunity for both established and emerging artists to gain public exposure and to increase the retail potential of their work. New works are accepted into the program through a review process and are consigned for a period of one year. Accepted work will require the signing of a consignment contract. Rental fees are established as 4 percent of the value of the work or a minimum of $15.00. Rental periods range from three to twelve months, and up to three months of the rental fee can be deducted from the sale price, if the work is purchased. The AGP's commission is 30 percent of the sale price of the artwork, and 50 percent of the rental fees of the artwork.
Artist's submissions will be accepted beginning December 15, 2011 and will be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Please include:
1. Artist's address, telephone number and email address.
2. Current resume / CV.
3. Up to ten (10) works maximum may be submitted in the form of digital images (JPG) with proper documentation as follows: title, year, medium, dimensions, and edition number for limited edition prints and photographs.
