Common Questions

Our curation team will identify spaces that best showcase your work. Once we’ve secured the right match, we’ll put you in contact with the space directly to confirm the details.

LoCA welcomes all artists across a variety of mediums, including: painting, photography, mixed media and sculpture. How much of your collection and which pieces to show is all up to you. We operate on a non-exclusive basis.

Once we’ve secured a show for you, we will connect you with your lead contact at the space. You confirm details (show dates, art placement, number of pieces to show) with the space directly and handle installation. You can download the QR code enabled labels from our site to print at home. When the show ends, you will take down all art and ship any sold pieces to the respective buyer. If you sell prints through us, we will handle printing and shipping as soon as an order is placed.

The buyer pays for shipping when they purchase. If your piece is bought through our online gallery, we will notify you so you can immediately ship to the buyer. If your work is currently in a show, you will ship after the show ends. We recommend you purchase insurance through the shipping agent. If you sell prints through us, we will handle printing and shipping as soon as an order is placed.

When your first show is confirmed, we’ll verify your account details, including your desired payment platform. LoCA will then issue a direct payment to you upon confirmation that the piece has been shipped to the buyer.

Artists receive 70% commissions on all original artwork and limited edition prints sold through LoCA, compared to 50% for most commercial galleries. Artists receive 65% of the profit from the sales of open edition prints. The profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of printing and shipping of the prints from the sale price.

Our goal is to support local artists by improving discovery of their work. We also believe that art is best appreciated when it’s seen in-person, which is why we focus on making it easier for artists to find spaces in their community to show and sell their work.
