January 3rd, 2010Five Reasons You Should Hire a Washington Art Lawyer
January 2nd, 2010Are you a Washington artist that is just starting to get into the business of selling your work? One of the first things that you should do is hire a Washington art lawyer to help represent your interests. It can be hard work getting a business set up to sell your art, especially if you really would prefer to be just making art and let someone else handle the selling of your art.
Here are five reasons you need a Washington art lawyer if you’re going to sell your work in Washington:
1. To protect your designs — If you are an artist that creates original work you need to copyright and in some cases patent your designs to protect them from being copied or stolen. A good Washington art lawyer can help you start the copyright process that you need to go through to fully protect your designs and your artwork.
2. To go after anyone that steals your designs — Usually all it takes to get someone to stop copying your designs if they have started copying your work or your images is a cease and desist letter from a good lawyer. If you have a good Washington art lawyer on retainer you can clear up any problems with people that are copying your work quickly and easily.
3. To help you sell your art — Many artists that deal in high end art have a lawyer that represents them for sales. This make the process of drawing up contracts and completing sales where lots of money changes hands go much more smoothly and it’s expected for high end artists to have their lawyers handle the details of selling the art.
4. To help you get set up to sell your art — If you are setting up a business to sell your art in Washington then a Washington art lawyer can help you fill out the paperwork that you need to file in order to get a seller’s license and complete your tax information so that you can legally sell your art. It’s important to take care of these things before you start to sell your art.
5. To produce legal contracts — If you are having a gallery or an agent sell your art on commission then you will need to have contracts in place that will specify how much of the final sale price you get, what happens to any artwork that doesn’t sell, and other details that come along with having someone else sell your work.
It’s always a good idea to have a Washington art lawyer look over or even draw up the contracts that you plan to use to make sure that the contracts are legally binding and are in your best interests as an artist.

Learn How To Find An Online Art Gallery
December 2nd, 2009Having an individual identity or mark is one of the more painstaking difficulties of an artist and his work. With the advances in modern technology, this predicament has somehow been eased, in that the artists can now further their trade with opportunities to market their wares online. Here are ways to assist artists in selling their artworks online.
2) Using the website Craigslist.org is a less expensive and casual method to promote your artworks. While getting exposure at no extra cost is a positive feature of Craigslist, the drawback is that your artworks never get to be posted or featured in a popular or well-known art gallery online.
3) Try and venture on different methods available online. There are always various ways and opportunities for you and your work to be noticed and considered. More importantly, stay informed about the different updates on the Internet.
Choosing An Online Art Gallery
You can easily join an online art gallery for the promotion of your art works. Joining an online art gallery entails commissions to be paid to the website on any sales of paintings or art works by artists subject to an agreement made by and between the gallery website and the artist. These commissions are deducted from the sales proceeds of each and every art work purchased online. Posting the works online is advantageous to the artists, as they are able to display their works thoroughly to the viewing public without the costly rentals of physical galleries and studios.
However, not all art galleries online charge commissions. Some require fees upfront, something like a joining fee of sorts, and forego the charging of commissions.
Aside from having a venue to display and sell art works and paintings, artists using art galleries online are afforded some sort of career promotion, as the invaluable aspect of personal exposure comes into play. Exposure is the key to each and every artist’s success.
The different art galleries online also make money from visitors to the website when they purchase online. They also work hard in promoting the artists in their stable, so to speak, and they maximize the potential of cyberspace in giving maximum exposure to the artists. Of course, more exposure for the artists translates into more sales that can be generated by the hosting website or art gallery. The key here is getting in touch with interested customers and parties.
