Sales & Commissions
At Circle, we do not directly handle sales. This means that our website doesn't include a "buy now" button. When a buyer is interested we facilitate the communication up to the point of the exchange. The artist is then responsible for accepting the payment as well as the shipping of the artwork.
We do not take commissions on sales. This is valid for sales that result directly or indirectly from the artist's publication on our website and/or other projects.
How can I publish in your magazines?
Artists accepted for online feature will be able to choose if they also want to be published in the next issue of Spotlight Magazine. Artists only interested in the magazines can sign up here to receive the next open call.
