Artists with Premium Artist Memberships are eligible to sell artwork in the online Arts Marketplace.

Prior to selling artwork online, member artists must sign a W9 and return to St. Lucie Cultural Alliance. Only one W9 is required.

If you click on “Upload images”, you will see “Upload a New Document” in blue toward the right of the screen and you’ll also see any previous documents you might have uploaded.

In “Document Name” put title of artwork; in “Comments” include sale price if applicable, medium, surface on which it was created, dimensions, and approximate weight if available. Images should be 640×480 pixels, .jpeg file.

Please note that it may take up to 2 business days for your uploaded images to be “published”.

St. Lucie Cultural Alliance will facilitate the transaction, and you, the artist, are responsible for shipping the artwork. St. Lucie Cultural Alliance assists in the process by:

-We will provide the purchaser’s shipping address to you

-Once you have determined the shipping cost, we will inform the purchaser about the total cost (price of artwork + shipping cost)

-Once the purchaser has approved the transaction, we will process the purchaser’s credit card for the total amount and notify you.

-At this stage, you will ship the artwork, and we will schedule a check to be issued payable to you (sale price – 10% fee + shipping cost). Checks are issued on the 1st and 15th of the month. Note: You are responsible for paying for the cost of shipping up front and we reimburse this cost to you when we issue you a check.

There is nominal 10% fee applied only to the sale price of artwork sold in the art marketplace. Participation in the marketplace is optional, and there is no additional fee for members to list a link to their artwork for sale on another website.

Here are some shipping options with links:

FedEx

UPS

USPS

We recommend that artists purchase shipping materials from a department store, pack it yourself, insure it and ship it through your local post office.  This is the most economical way to ship artwork.

For Shoppers

Thank you for supporting local artists through your St. Lucie Cultural Alliance marketplace purchase. Whether you’ve purchased a painting to adorn your home, or purchased a piece as a gift, our artists appreciate your business.

If you live locally, you may wish to arrange pick-up or drop-off of the artwork with the artist at a mutually convenient location. St. Lucie Cultural Alliance has notified the artist of your purchase and provided your contact information to them, so they will be reaching out to you very soon.

If you’ve elected to have the piece shipped, the artist will ensure the piece you purchased gets shipped to you as soon as possible. St. Lucie Cultural Alliance works with our member artists to facilitate the transaction, but artists are responsible for shipping the artwork you purchased to you.
