ARTWORK SALES
Gallery 881 respects copyright ownership of artists. Exhibited artwork remains the sole property of the artist. As a commercial gallery and by agreement with the artist, artwork is sold with 50-50 commissioned sales with the artist. Artists exhibiting at Gallery 881 are represented with a minimum 3-month period that begins at the start of the exhibition. During representation, artwork may be stored onsite and marketed to collectors, gallery visitors, and via online art sales. At the end of representation, unsold artwork is returned to the artist. While artwork may no longer be sold via our portals, except by written agreement, the artwork may still appear on the Gallery 881 website and used for promotion.
PRINTMAKER STUDIO
Gallery 881 is a partner with PrintMaker Studio, a full service fine art printer and finisher. PrintMaker Studio works with many notable artists and is the official 2023 Capture Photography Festival print sponsor. Artwork that is not yet produced for the exhibition, is printed by PrintMaker Studio.

If you have additional questions, please contact the gallery. Please note that due to the volume of submissions, we are not able to respond directly to inquiries or offer a critique. If your proposal is accepted, Gallery 881 will contact you.
Thank you in advance for your submission!
