Why should I become a member of La Galerie Fleur de Lys?

Their is a market for North American art but the insecurities towards online transactions and the lack of internet knowledge can make this market inaccessible for some.

The creation and maintenance of a Website requires money, time and basic knowledge of HTML. These requirements are enough to discourage an artist from having his or her own website. Moreover, having his or her own Website isn’t a guarantee that net surfers will find it. One needs basic knowledge in website referencing and optimization to be able to attract the purchasers.

Fortunately, there are sites which make it possible for you to post and sell your art. But one still has to learn how the site functions, have time to post art regularly and learn the sites tricks to increase sales. Not to mention that several of them require expensive fees and have pages and pages of artwork that end up not being viewed by potential buyers

Whatever the reason La Galerie Fleur de Lys wants to make selling artwork online as easy as possible. Providing artworks in a selective manner ensures quality and homogeneity of the art on the site. While being bilingual, our gallery can reach a greater number of potential buyers. The purchases can be made safely with PayPal. And we offer a wide range of services to our artists/sellers. vendeurs.

      • Creation and maintenance of a bilingual gallery page for each artist.
      • Translation (if necessary) of the artist bio and artwork descriptions.
      • Promotion of the Gallery
      • Selling art on other sites of good reputation
      • Purchase Management
      • Constant Seeking of suitable sites to represent its artists

 

What happens when someone buys a work of art?

As soon as purchase is made, we notify the artist. The artist carefully packs the artwork and sends it to the buyer. (Generally within one week). Once the buyer receives the art, he has 7 days to decide if he wants to keep the art or not. As soon as the art is accepted by the buyer, the payment is sent to the artist. If the buyer decides that he does not want the art inside of the 7 day period, the buyer can return it to the artist and we will refund the price of work to the buyer. However, the shipping costs are not refunded to the buyer but to the artist who payed for sending his or her artwork.
