Considerations before submitting your work:
Sales:
Sales and shipping will be dealt with through the ACLD office and all sales will include 7% PST. Commission for art pieces sold will be charged to the artist at 30% of the sales price. Sales will be paid to the artist, preferably by e-transfer, or by cheque. The Arts Council of Ladysmith and District is required by the Government to issue T4A slips for all sales payouts to artists if the yearly total is $500 or greater. Social Insurance Numbers must be provided by artists if a T4A is required.
Copyright:
Artists must submit their own original work. You are not allowed to use the work of another artist in part or as a whole. If the work is based on a photograph not taken by you, you must have permission from the photographer. As the photograph is also an artwork you must demonstrate a significant creative departure from the original and clearly indicate that this is the case. Artists should familiarize themselves with copyright laws and ensure that their work does not infringe on any copyright. If you are unsure, please email our Curator at gallery@ladysmitharts.ca
Cultural Appropriation:
The ACLD respects the cultural rights of all Indigenous Peoples and will not accept artwork for exhibition that may be viewed as cultural appropriation. Please ensure your work is culturally sensitive and appropriate in its content. If you have used any indigenous motifs/designs or cultural symbolism in your work, and you are not a member of the culture from which your work’s inspiration is drawn, you must provide written authorization from a cultural representative.
Insurance and Liability
Artists exhibiting their work at the ACLD gallery do so at their own risk. While the ACLD does use
a building security system, works are not insured under the ACLD. It is strongly advised that
artists carry their own insurance.
The ACLD gallery makes every effort to ensure that theft and damages do not occur. However,
should any loss or damage occur, the artist/artisan understands and accepts the full risk of loss
or damage to articles placed on consignment. Damaged items will be returned to the artisan.
