Artwork Submission Guidelines
*Please read carefully*
All 2-D artwork MUST be framed and/or ready to hang with wire in good condition. If submitting a drawing or print, the piece must be matted with the ability to hang or with a magnetic hanging frame.
All artwork information entered in our online submission form is needed for our promotional and printed materials (labels, website, social media etc.). Please make sure all submitted information is accurate and formatted accordingly.
Work must be dropped off in person or shipped. If shipping, please use UPS or FedEx and send a tracking number to auction@reduxstudios.org. The package must include a return shipping label.
We prefer work that has been completed in the past two years.
Retail value:
Our analysis over years of auctions shows that work with a retail value under $1,000 is the most successful in sales. Should your artwork be on the higher end, please consider a lower starting bid price. Submissions with a retail value over $10,000 will not be considered.
Starting bid price:
The starting bid price is the lowest price at which you are comfortable with your work being sold. Note that this is not the amount that you will receive if the work sells - see below for information regarding the sales split. We suggest the starting bid should be 20–25% of your retail price. Please be advised that while you have indicated a starting bid price for your artwork, Redux reserves the right to adjust this starting bid price at its discretion.
Sales split: Artists will have the option of splitting the sale of the work 30:70 with Redux (artist keeps 30% of sale) or donating 100% of the entire sale to Redux. We strongly encourage a full donation to support the important work of Redux in the local community and help us to bring contemporary art into more people’s lives, but we understand that this might not be possible for everyone. If you donate, then the value of the piece is tax deductible and Redux will provide the appropriate documentation.
Gallery courtesy:
If you are an artist with gallery representation, it is your responsibility to notify your gallery about Auction participation. If you would like us to give your gallery representative a courtesy in the brochure and on bid sheets, please indicate that in your email submission.
