FAQs


Do the prints need to be framed for the market?
A: Prints are not required to be framed, however, it’s ok if they are. If not you should have them in protective sleeves as the care of your prints are your own responsibility.


How do people pay me in the market?
A: They can pay with cash, card, paypal or any other method you are able to accept. We might be able to supply portable credit card machines; this can be discussed with the final selected artists.


Are you taking any commission?
A: No, you keep what you get for every item you sell. However, we do require you to kindly donate a print to the pic.up prints raffle.


How will the donated print be selected?
A: If you are shortlisted you will need to send your prints for review. If you are selected to be in the market we will choose one of those prints for the raffle.


Why do I have to send the physical prints for review since you’ve already seen the images in digital form?
A: The physical form, touch and finish of your prints is as important as the image itself and it is one of the key factors that determines whether a piece will sell. We like to make sure participating artists will be bringing physical prints of a high quality.


I am not sure about editioning and/or pricing my work. What do I do?
A: You should enter tentative values on the application form. We are happy to discuss this and provide advice if you are selected for the market. There is no limit on the number of editions for each image.


If some of my prints are more expensive than £250 or cheaper than £50, is that ok?
A: It is ok to bring works that are outside this range, as long as it doesn’t exceed a third of your items.


I’m not based in London. Can I apply?
A: Of course, we welcome applications from anywhere. Although please note we are unable to cover travel costs for participators.


I never went to art school. Can I apply?
A: Of course, we welcome artists from any background.


Can I drop off my prints in person?
A: Unfortunately, we are unable to receive prints in person.
