No sorry, our philosophy is to support British based independent businesses.

In the first instance complete the simple enquiry form and send it back to us via email.

We aim to respond in 2-3 working days by email. Following that we like to talk to all our artists on the phone to get to know you a little, and see if the platform is right for you and our customer base, and answer any of your questions.

If you are successful we then ask you to JOIN the online site. This is FREE. You can then start to set up your online shop. We will send you a more comprehensive application form to complete and return, so that we can add you to our Artists’ page with your biography, story and a photograph.

No, we do not charge any FEES to join or to list your pieces.

Our model is SIMPLE we take between 10% & 15% commission an anything you sell. The commission rate is agreed with each individual artist in advance and is pre-set dependent on the types of pieces being sold and the nature of the costs incurred by each artist in making them (eg fabrication or foundry costs.)

Orders you receive on the website must only be paid by the buyer through the website’s payment facility operated by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. This is for your security. We do not hold any customer payment details. We accept payments using Visa, Mastercard and all debit cards.

When a sale is made from one of your collections the sales proceeds LESS the (agreed) commission and bank charges go STRAIGHT to your STRIPE bank account – it then usually takes up to 5 working days for Stripe to transfer to your own bank account.

You are responsible for all risk and liability related to supplying the order to the customer and must endeavour to dispatch the item in a timely manner. You should state clearly in your online shop your method of delivery/ carrier (ie DHL, FEDEX, PARCELFORCE). The artist is responsible for all delivery to their customers

No. All items sold on creativelocale.co.uk – must INCLUDE delivery charges and VAT (if you are VAT registered.)

No. However, we find clear, well-lit, simple, colour photography maximises sales – please see the link to our PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS to help you improve your images.

We have a dedicated team at the end of the phone to help you if you need us. The contact details are in the pack you receive when you JOIN. You can also email us anytime.

All keyboard activities, including “right mouse click” have been disabled across all images on the web site, so they can’t be downloaded.

If you want to add a watermark to your pictures that’s fine for added protection.

We can resize the images so please send them as Jpeg files at the best resolution you can so we can reduce accordingly.

We are used to doing this – I am a photographer so always looking to protect my pix!

Yes, absolutely. We do not ask for exclusivity in fact we welcome artsists who hold exhibitions and have work in galleries. However we do ask that your pieces and collections are unique.
