FAQs

It only costs $20 per month to be apart of the gallery.

Each month you’ll be sent an invoice via email that will give you the option to pay either via direct bank transfer or PayPal. You will have 7 days to make payment otherwise your page will be suspended until your payment is made.

Yes you can! You won’t be reimbursed for the month you’re currently in, but you will not be invoiced for any future months thereafter. Because Ground Zero Gallery does not take direct, automatic payments, you will not have to worry about any future payments being debited from your account.

That’s right, Ground Zero Gallery takes absolutely 0% commission from your sales. As you will deal with payments directly, Ground Zero has absolutely no involvement beyond promoting you and your work. And really, isn’t that the way it should be?!

There is no set criteria you need to meet to join the gallery. I do ask that when you make an inquiry about joining, you provide existing links to your work and/or images you have. This is just to ensure that you are an artist demonstrating skill.

Once you’ve made your initial inquiry and been established as an artist demonstrating skill, I will ask for images of your works via email and, for each work you send through, I require the following information:

• The name of the work (if titled)

• The dimensions of the work

• The medium/s used and the surface type the work has been created on

• The price of the work

You’re also welcome to include a description of each work if you like, but this is totally optional.

If any of your works come framed, an image of the framed work can be provided alongside the artwork’s description.

Any future works you create will be added to your page in exactly the same manner.

If you have a website where your artworks appear, I can take the images and details directly from there to streamline this process for you.
There are also no current limits on the amount of artworks your page can include.

You do not require an artist bio. If you do have an existing one, I can upload it to your artist page or I can create one for you for a flat rate of $150. For more information about the process and turnaround time, please email me at, bernadette.sanfilippo@outlook.com

You can receive payment for the sale of your works in one of two ways. If you have a website, I can link each artwork on your Ground Zero page directly to the corresponding artwork on your website, allowing buyers to purchase directly from you. If you don’t currently have a website, I can supply your preferred payment method directly to buyers when they make an enquiry about your work. You’re welcome to supply these payment details when you initially join the gallery.

Because I do not take payment for the sale of your works, I also do not organise shipping, that will be up to you to determine. When you initially join the gallery, I will ask for your shipping information and I include those details at the conclusion of your artist page for buyers to view.

Similar to shipping, framing will be up to you, the artist, to determine. When you initially join the gallery, I will ask for your framing information and I include those details at the very bottom of your artist page for buyers to view.

If one, some, or all of your works already come framed, I can include an image of this next to the work’s primary image.

Because you, the artist, will handle your payments and shipments directly, you will also determine your personal returns policy. This policy can be specified on your artist page on its initial setup.

Yes you can sell your work yourself, but there are a few benefits to joining Ground Zero Gallery.

Right now I manage all artist pages as well as the Ground Zero Gallery site, meaning you don’t have to worry about the technical aspects of uploading your work online, or paying for a website or web developer to create one for you. Additionally, I take all the initial inquiries from buyers and am always the first point of contact, meaning you don’t have to be. And finally, and most importantly, I actively promote the gallery full time, in an attempt to get as many eyeballs on the site as possible. Many artists I’ve previously worked with find this frequency of promotion difficult to achieve, as they constantly need to balance their time between producing their art and promoting themselves.

That being said, I still need your help! I always need artists to mention the gallery on their social media sites and tell other artists they know about it. Together we can create something wonderful and ensure artists make real money from the works they create, without losing a substantial amount to the ridiculously high commissions charged by both physical and digital galleries.
