We are seeking new artists to work with us and we thought this may be of interest to some of your members. We are currently compiling a website of artists work, mostly done from photographs of towns and villages across Britain as they once looked in the past. Art of this nature attracts a great deal of interest from a growing section of the public and is a good outlet for promoting artists work.

We intend to create a collection of work by artists, in original and printed form. Our aim is that the collection will function not only as a gallery from which work can be bought, but also as an archive of illustrations for those interested in social history. To accommodate these varied interests we intend to produce prints in a variety of different sizes, from postcard size up to A2 size, as well as some limited editions.

We are aware that artists who contribute to our collection will also produce their own work and we would welcome promoting this too. However we can only promote the work of artists contributing to our collection of illustrations of Britain. We want to market your art nationally through magazines as well as the internet, while also looking to explore other avenues such as high street shops and the greetings card and book publishing industry. As such we require your permission to reproduce your artwork. All copyright will remain with the artist and work may be withdrawn from our website at any time by informing us that you wish to do so.

Printing
Printing and scanning of work is free for all artists whose work is sold through our gallery.

Payment for sales
Original work sold through the gallery is charged 20% commission and we charge NO annual subscription fees.
Artists are paid 20% commission for each print that we sell. Artists may order prints of their work for private sales at reasonable costs – we do not however operate a general printing service.

Interested artists should send photographs or slides of their work to the address above. Please enclose a SAE for the return of photographs. Alternatively send e-mail attachments for consideration.

Should you require any further information please feel free to contact me.
Many thanks,

Jeff Lister.
