Sales

NAWA receives 30% commission on all sales. Artist will receive 70%
Price of entered work, title and medium cannot be changed once submitted.
In the event of a sale, NAWA receives the payment, the artist ships the work to the buyer, and the shipping cost would be negotiated with the buyer. Usually the buyer pays that in full.
Taxes: NAWA, headquartered in NY, handles the initial payment for the artwork, so any sales shipping to NY, FL, SC or MA would be charged sales tax according to that state’s tax, since NY is the point of sale, and we have chapters in all those states. Sales tax is not charged to any other state to which a work is shipped.

Work must be for sale; NFS is not allowed.

The entry application & payment will serve as the entrants’ agreement to all conditions (including the waiver below) set forth in this prospectus. Entries will be disqualiﬁed for failure to follow these instructions.

Waiver

My application for entry into the NAWA juried exhibition entitled, Small Works Winter 2024, appearing online binds me to the agreement as stated below, and I am to hold the artwork available from the opening date February 1, 2024 until the specified ending date stated in the prospectus of February 29, 2024.

In consideration of the display of my artwork, I hereby declare I am the owner and creator of the original artwork being submitted by me, both as to the artwork's physical manifestation and the copyright of artwork. I accept full responsibility for any casualty of any kind while in the National Association of Women Artists, Inc. (NAWA) Online Exhibition.

I understand that my work may not be included if it fails to meet professional presentation standards (as determined by the Exhibitions Committee), including but not limited to: blurry photography in entry jpeg, inclusion of type over the image. NAWA retains the right of discretion to decide if artworks do or do not meet the requirements of our show standards, or contain any inflammatory or offensive materials.

I hereby waive any and all claims against the National Association of Women Artists, Inc., as well as their employees, officers, directors and committee personnel.

Nevertheless, for the purpose of this agreement, I agree that the stated value of the artwork shall be One U.S.Dollar (1USD, $1), in the event of any loss or damage to the piece of artwork.

I agree to allow an image of my artwork to be exhibited or to be used without additional charge for advertising and/or promotion in the furtherance of the Exhibition, and for other purposes including, without limitation, in traditional media, social media, website, as well for public relations, prior to and/or during or after the Exhibition. My work is to be available for sale at the price hereinbefore agreed on. I agree that if my work is sold during the exhibition, I will pay NAWA Headquarters 30%, and I will retain 70% of the selling price.

Point of release clause: the work on exhibition is considered part of the exhibition from point of delivery (by submission of the image for online display) and the close of exhibition. NAWA retains the right of discretion not to exhibit artworks if they do not meet the requirements of NAWA show standards, or contain any inflammatory or offensive materials.

Labels: NAWA is a not-for-profit art organization, and as such will not list anything other than the name of the artist, the title of the work, its dimensions, medium and price.

The use of the registered Trademark Seal and the logo of the National Association of Women Artists, Inc. for any personal or business use on any documents, postcards, invitations, and other promotional materials and communications is a violation of law.
