Artists with good gallery representation credentials are welcome to apply. However please consult with your gallery regarding financial terms. Also note that galleries typically represent an artist's work in only one country. So, if you are looking for global exposure and access to premium markets and think that your artwork has an international appeal, partnering with us would be a perfect fit.
We encourage all our artists to pursue gallery representation as it increases the exposure. When representing your artwork on other online platforms we ask you to be consistent with pricing and description as irregularities here will really throw the customers off and decrease the value of your art.
Gallerists may sell the work of artists they represent. Gallerists can create an account on their name but all listed artworks must have the individual artist’s name under the art description. The gallerist will be responsible for handling every aspect of the account and must reply to any requests or notifications of a sale in a timely manner.
Ginnava.com is mainly focused on buyers looking for one-of-a-kind and original art including limited Editions. We exhibit original art created by top new and established artists from across the world.
