Stuck? Stressed? Seeking Advice? Ask the Artwork Archive Team
Ever wonder what jurors are really looking for in a grant application? Or maybe you're trying to figure out if you should price your online artwork differently than pieces in shows? Whether you're dealing with a commission that's gone sideways or trying to decide if you should quit your day job to pursue art full-time – we're here to help!
Share your story below, and our experienced team will select questions to answer in our "Ask Artwork Archive" series.
By sharing your question, you're not only getting advice about your specific situation, you’re helping build a stronger artistic community for everyone. The challenges you're facing today are likely ones that other artists will encounter tomorrow.
Artwork Archive is committed to providing accessible resources for creatives to thrive, and we appreciate you considering submitting a question that could benefit artists around the world!

Submission Terms:
By submitting your question, you agree that Artwork Archive may share your story (anonymously if you prefer) to help our broader artist community. While we provide general guidance and insights based on industry experience, we're not offering legal or financial advice—always consult qualified professionals for specific situations.
We may edit submissions for clarity and length, or broaden very specific scenarios to make them more helpful for all artists. Not every question will be selected for the series, but we value each submission! If you include your name or email, we'll only use them to communicate with you about your question and never share them with third parties.
Deadline to submit:
We're excited to start reviewing the next round of submissions on December 1st. Don't worry if you miss this date — we'll continue welcoming submissions after that on a rolling basis.
