Frequently Asked Questions: Customers
What is the NLAS?
The Newfoundland Art Store. The NLAS is an online gallery and marketplace for artwork by Newfoundland Artists. It primarily functions as a "back end" for artists' own websites, but also has this public gallery, a "factory outlet" so to speak for those who choose to be included.

Frequently Asked Questions: Artists
I'm an artist. Can I put my work in the Newfoundland Art Store?
Maybe. If you are an artist living and creating original artwork in NL you are eligible. If you are a Newfoundlander away or an artist living away who does work of interest to Newfoundlanders contact us with details.
I don't have my own website. Can I still put my work in the Newfoundland Art Store?
It is not required that you have a website.
Can I sell my work elsewhere?
Anywhere you please. The Newfoundland Art Store is simply a venue for you to use.
How do I get my artworks to the store?
You don't. The Newfoundland Art Store is an online store only. The NLAS takes orders for artwork and we notify the artist who sends the piece directly to the customer.
I see your copyright notice. Who has the rights to the artwork?
The artist maintains all rights to the work. Our copyright covers the presentation materials on the site.
Who decides what work goes on the site and sets the prices?
You do. Note: While do not curate, we do reserve the right to refuse any works we deem inappropriate, offensive or not of professional quality.
What does it cost to be in the Newfoundland Art Store?
There is no cost or annual fees. Newfoundland Art Store charges a ten percent commission on sales.
Do I have to sign a contract?
You must agree to abide by our terms and conditions which cover how sales are to be handled. You are not "under contract" to the NLAS and may sell your work in other venues and leave at any time without obligation.
How do I get paid?
Artists are paid at the end of each month for all sales that have been completed. Sales are not considered completed until the customer receives the artwork. We prefer to pay via paypal. If you do not have a paypal account, a cheque will be mailed to you.
