Art For Sale Submission Instructions:

Please follow the below instructions when submitting your art to be evaluated or your submission may get lost or not accepted. Due to the huge number of submissions we get on a daily basis, we truly appreciate your cooperation!

1. Email us about your piece.

2. Make sure your email contains a detailed description of your piece- condition, size, where purchased, etc.

3. You must include an image for us to consider your piece. Please attach a jpg image of your art in the email. We only need to see one full shot of your piece and any credentials that provide a history and can help authenticate your piece.

4. Please make sure that the images are under 300k each. Over that, your emails may be too large to reach us and may be stopped by our server. There will be options in your photo program (like photoshop) that let you resize images. Sizes under 5 inches by 5 inches and DPI at 72 DPI are ideal. Getting your images to us in the correct format will greatly speed up our replying to you on a timely basis.

5. WWA devotes themselves to offering your art to our clients in the best possible light and we work hard on your behalf to sell your art for you. We ask that before you send us any art for sale, you are representing that this art is currently not being offered for sale elsewhere- another gallery, on the internet, or on any other venue.
