Apply to join our contemporary artist directory, secure editorial interviews, and consign works for monthly auctions.
Curator Overview
The Submit Your Art portal by The New Art Magazine offers independent painters, sculptors, and photographers a curated, digital channel to publish their portfolios, reach international art buyers, and apply for monthly auction representation.
1. Who can submit artwork?
Independent contemporary visual artists (painters, sculptors, photographers) from any country can submit portfolios for curatorial review and directory listing.
2. Is there a submission fee?
Standard portfolio review and directory listings are completely free. We charge a small $35 priority review fee only for guaranteed 3-day responses.
3. How are sales handled?
We charge a flat 15% commission on successful auction consignment sales, with 0% buyer premiums, routing funds directly to the artist’s studio upon receipt.
The High Commissions of Traditional Dealers
Physical art galleries charge up to 50% commission on original canvases, forcing artists to inflate prices and limiting accessibility for new collectors. We eliminate this bottleneck by connecting buyers directly with creators and charging only a flat 15% for auction curation.
